THE AMERICAN EXHIBITION OF THE PRODUCTS, ARTS, 
AxNTD MANUFACTURES OF FOREIGN NATIONS. 

The original inception of this enterprise is due to the suggested World's 
Fairof.i88r. When that undertaking was abandoned, there was still much 
interest felt in the subject, and a belief, in the minds of many interested, that 
Boston presented special advantages for a large exhibition. Under these 
circumstances, Gen. Norton, whose experience in connection with exhibitions 
is quite extended, was invited to come on from Washington for the purpose 
of consultation on the subject. The result of these interviews was the organi- 
zation of The Foreign Exhibition Association, — a corporation organ- 
ized under the General Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, U.S.A. 
Its charter is granted for the following purposes : — 

" The general improvement of the manufacturing and mechanical interests 
of the United States, by means of holding worthy and adequate exhibitions 
of foreign manufacturing, artistic, and industrial productions ; the improve- 
ment of educational facilities afforded to artisans ; the providing of foreign 
libraries of reference, for use at such exhibitions ; the providing of lectures 
and discussions on subjects of industry, science, and art; and the providing 
of all other proper means by which these objects can he accomplished." 

The Association will hold an Exhibition consisting exclusively of Foreign 
Arts, Products, a?id Manufactures, in the city of Boston, to open Sept. 3, 
1883, and continue open not less than three months. The advantages of 
such an exhibition to weign manufacturers, and others who may exhibit, 
must be apparent, while there can be no question as to the interest which it 
will awaken in the United States. This country has had no opportunity since 
the Centennial Exhibition, held over six years ago, to see the recent advance 
of foreign art and industry. The National Government of the United States 
has manifested its interest in the enterprise by legislation which will greatly 
facilitate the work of all interested, and will especially lighten the expense 
to exhibiters. 

The City of Boston is the metropolis of New England, and is the centre 
of a population of over three millions. It is an important commercial port, 
and presents facilities for the delivery of goods from foreign countries, which 
excel those of any former international exhibition. It is a centre from which 
radiate eight important lines of railway, connecting it with the entire railway 
system of the United States and Canada, and bringing it into close connection 
with every city and town in these countries. All the railway and other trans- 
portation companies have signified their willingness to bring passengers to 
Boston at greatly reduced rates during the progress of the Exhibition. 

The building in which the Exhibition is held is centrally located, and of 
easy access from all parts of the city. It lias been erected at an expense of 
over half a million dollars, and is constructed solely for exhibition purposes; 
it has every facility for the rapid and easy delivery of exhibits, and every 
possible convenience for visitors. It has electric lights in abundance, steam- 
power, water, gas, and two large halls for holding public meetings. It is so 
arranged as to permit of the separate and distinct representation of every 
nation in a ''court'' or section set apart for its exclusive use. It has, in all, 
over seven acres of floor space. 

By an Act of the Congress of the United States, approved by the President 
June 28, 1882, all goods intended for this Exhibition are admitted to remain 
in bond free of duty while on exhibition. At its close they may be sold 
upon payment of the duty, under the approval of the Government of the 
Association. 

No sales of the articles exhibited are allowed, except for delivery at the 
close of the Exhibition ; but arrangements will be made by the Board of 
Directors for the sale of duplicates.

NATHANIEL J. BRADLEE, 
President of the Foreign Exhibition Association. 



Nathaniel J. Bradlee was born in the city of Boston, on June 1, 1829; 
he was a son of Samuel Bradlee, a hardware-merchant of Boston ; his grand- 
parents and great-grandparents, on both his father's and mother's side, were 
natives of Boston. His great-grandfather, Caleb Davis, was the first speaker 
of the Massachusetts House of Representatives. 

Mr. Bradlee was educated at Chauncy-hall School, from which he gradu- 
ated in 1846. He entered the office of George M. Dexter, a well-known 
architect of Boston, and remained with him until 1856, when he became that 
gentleman's successor. 

In 1859 ne was appointed by the city government of Boston to superintend 
and take charge of the removal of Hotel Pelham, situated on the corner of 
Tremont and Boylston streets. This work was successfully accomplished, and 
attracted a great deal of attention, both in this country and in foreign lands. 
The account of the removal was published in the English, French, and Ger- 
man newspapers. Mr. Bradlee subsequently superintended the removal of 
the Boylston Market : he has also had charge of the erection of over five 



1 8 FOREIGN EXHIBITION CATALOGUE. 

hundred buildings in this city. In 1875 he was appointed by the Secretary of 
the Treasury one of the commissioners to report on the condition of the Chi- 
cago Custom House, and their recommendations were adopted. 

With the water-supply of the city, Mr. Bradlee's name must be permanently 
connected. He was elected a member of the board in 1865 for two years, and 
was subsequently re-elected for live consecutive terms. He resigned the office 
during his last term, on account of the pressure of business. During the years 
1868, 1869, and 1870, he was the president of the board, during which time the 
Chestnut-hill Reservoir was completed ; and the largest of the two basins, by a 
vote of the board, was named the Bradlee Basin. In 1868 he compiled the 
history of the Boston Water-Works, which has been of great value to all 
who are interested in water-works. 

Mr. Bradlee has always been a very active business-man. He is executor 
and trustee of a large number of estates : he also holds many offices of trust 
and responsibility. He is the president of the Massachusetts Charitable 
Mechanics' Association, Boston Storage Warehouse Company, Chauncy-hall 
School Corporation ; vice-president of the Franklin Savings Bank ; and a 
director in the Boston & Maine Railroad, New-England Trust Company, 
Boston Safe-Deposit and Trust Company, New-England Mutual Life Insur- 
ance Company, Boston and Sandwich Glass Company, Boston Exchange Com- 
pany, and several insurance-companies.

A 




HON. FREDERIC W. LINCOLN, 
Treasurer of the Foreign Exhibition Association. 

This well-known and honored citizen of Boston was born in this city, on the 
27th of February, 181 7, and educated in the public and private schools. He 
was seven years mayor of the city, — a longer time than any other person has 
occupied the mayoralty. A part of his term of service was during the war 
period, which imposed extraordinary responsibilities, amortg which was the 
painful duty, by military force, of crushing out incipient rebellion in the form of 
draft-riots in the city. Thus a worthy descendant of Paul Revere, the 
patriot of the Revolution (whose statue is soon to be erected in Copley Square,, 
in the act of warning the " embattled farmers " of Concord and Lexington of 
the movement of the British troops), was able to aid essentially in the preser- 
vation of the free institutions his worthy progenitor assisted so greatly in 
establishing. Mr. Lincoln served four years in the Legislature, and in 1851 
was a member of the Constitutional Convention. In 1854, ''^ '56, he was 
president of the Massachusetts Charitable Mechanic Association, and in 
1880 again became a member of its government, being chosen its treasurer,, 
which position he now fills. In 1868 he was appointed on the State Board of 
Harbor Commissioners, serving for several years as chairman, until the Board 
was consolidated with the Land Commission. For eleven years he was chair- 
man of the City Board of Overseers of the Poor, and afterward treasurer of 
the Board ; and has filled many other positions of trust in public and business 
affairs. He commenced business in 1839, continuing until 1882, when he 
retired to become general manager of the Boston Storage Warehouse.

GEN. C. B. NORTON, 
Secretary of the Foreign Exhibition Association. 



Gen. C. B. Norton is a native of Connecticut, but passed much of his early- 
life in Boston, where he is best known by those who constituted the prominent 
literary men and publishers of this city, twenty years ago. He is the son of the 
late Major Benj. Hammatt Norton, consul at Pictou under President Taylor; 
and is known to the reading public as publisher of the " Literary Gazette," and 
the author of several books on the manufacture of munitions of war, among 
them an illustrated work, the second edition of which was recently published, 
on " American Inventions and Improvements in Breech-loading Small Arms, 
Heavy Ordnance, etc." In 1853 h e was a juror in the New- York World's 
Fair. Previous to 1861 he was a dealer in rare books in the city of New 
York, making occasional trips to Europe, and collecting choice libraries for 
private and public use. He served with distinction through the late war, and 
was a member of Gen. Fitz John Porter's staff with the rank of brevet briga- 
dier-general. In 1867 he was appointed United-States Commissioner to the 
Paris Exposition, having in 1866, according to the official report of the United- 
States Centennial Commission, first publicly proposed the Centennial Expo- 
sition; and in 1873 was called to Philadelphia by the executive committee, and 
placed in charge of the press, the entire publicity of the enterprise being 
placed in his hands, where his extensive knowledge of both the American and 
foreign press proved to be of the greatest value to the Centennial Board of 
Finance, under whose general direction he operated. He was the author of 
the systematic plan of advertising the Exposition by the publication of well- 
designed views of the building, which developed an extended knowledge of 
the enterprise throughout the world.

ITALY. 




KING HUMBERT I. (Born March 14, 1841.) 

Of all progressive nations which now command the attention of the politi- 
cal and financial world, none manifest so much ambition to attain the first 
rank in military power, politics, or the institutions in which a refined people 
take pride, as Italy, whose ancient capital once ruled supreme in the world 
of commerce. In the budget estimates for 1883, tne revenue of the kingdom 
is set down at 1,539,128,670 lire, or 61,565,146 pounds, and the expenditure 
at 1,521,062,988 lire, or 61,242,519 pounds, thus showing a surplus of 8,065,682 
lire, or 322,627 pounds ; and in addition to this, special provision was made 
for an extraordinary expenditure, extending over five years, for the ministry 
of war. The condition of Italy's merchant-marine to-day is rivalled by that 
of no other country save England and the United States, as the amount of 
tonnage actually entered and cleared in Italian ports will testify ; and to protect 



34 FOREIGN EXHIBITION CATALOGUE. 

her national honor, and to assist in establishing enlightened sentiments of 
national government wherever she has any control, she has improved her 
navy until her war-vessels in construction and armament are absolutely 
unsurpassed, and in 1882 numbered eighty-six steamers afloat or building.' 
Her excellence is also manifest in some of the peaceful arts. In the prepara- 
tion of useful statistics she outranks every nation except France and the 
United States; and by these statements it is shown that in 1882 the kingdom 
of Italy had a registered seafaring population of 176,335; the total number 
of vessels which entered Italian ports in the year 1881 was 110,184, of 
16,115,763 tons, of whch 25,024 Were steamers, of 12,530,269 tons. There 
cleared from Italian ports, during the same year, 109,414 vessels, of 15,954,941 
tons, of which 24,984, of 12,461,598 tons, were steamers. The total length 
of railways open for traffic in January, 1881, was 8,713 chilometri, or 5,445 
English miles, of which about one-fourth belonged to the state. The first 
line of railway was opened in 1839, anc * the construction of railroads was 
undertaken by the state in order to extend the lines more rapidly. The 
length of telegraph-lines in 1882 was 16,430 English miles, nearly two-thirds 
of which belonged to the government. So complete a transformation from 
the anarchy of a few decades ago could scarcely have been hoped for by the 
most enthusiastic of her admirers ; and so proud a career for Italy could never 
have been anticipated by the actors in the tragedies which cleared the stage of 
every healthful element, and substituted political chaos and civil disorder. She 
has had, and doubtless will have, many a hard struggle before she succeeds 
in liberating her entire people from moral and intellectual bondage ; but that 
she is incapable of final defeat is evident from her present prosperous con- 
dition and her wise and liberal policy. One of the forces on which Italy has 
depended to right her wrongs, and to elevate her despondent people, is her 
army, which, from a moral point of view, compares favorably with any other 
country. Its officers are well-educated gentlemen, profoundly earnest in the 
performance of their professional duties, and free from all class prejudice 
which would stand in the way of a proper regard for the men under their 
charge, while maintaining the strictest discipline. The men are described 
as neither servile nor restive, but respectful, obedient, and manly, and are 
distinguished for great physical endurance ; in short, they are men who 
might be expected to follow Garibaldi, "the heroic Genoese,'' with a faith 
equally heroic, into the new world which he discovered for them, and for a 
people numbering, in 1881, 28,452,639, an increase in ten years of 1,660,285, 
— 248 reckoned to the square mile. The war strength of the standing army 
is placed at 690,000 men, including staff; the mobile militia, 300,000; and the 
territorial militia, 1,000,000, — total, 1,990,000. At the head of the Italian 
government, responsible alike for its advancement or its tendency to retrogres- 
sion, stands the king, whose portrait, and that of the queen, we herewith 
present to our readers ; and it is to the administration, and not to the legisla- 
ture, that Italians give the credit of the rapid strides taken by the country 
toward an improvement in the department of finance, as shown in the recent 
resumption of gold payments, and in the support of her public schools, an 
attendance upon which is compulsory, Since the commencement of the year 
i860, there were opened throughout the kingdom thirty-three great model 
schools. The annual grant to these schools is 31,000,000 lire. There are, 
besides, 7,422 private primary schools, and 11,161 evening schools for males, 
and 492 for females. There are in Italy twenty-two universities. Statistics 
show, that in 1868 a general average of 64.27 per cent of the adult male popu- 
lation was without the rudiments of education; and in 1879 tn ' s nac * been 
reduced to 59. per cent. 

Umberto I., born 1844, the eldest son of King Vittorio Emanuele. II. of 
Italy, and Archduchess Adelaide of Austria, succeeded to the yirone on the 
death of his father in 1878. He married Queen Margherita (born Nov. 20, 
1851) in 1868, and she has been to him his guiding star. Possessed of a

charming exterior, her charms of person and manner are only equalled by 
her intellectual acquirements, which are of a superior order; and her personal 
kindness has often smoothed the way for the execution of the king's plans in 
directions where there might have been a conflict between Church and State. 
The value of the commercial intercourse of Italy with other nations is prin- 
cipally noticeable in her transactions with France and Great Britain, and her 
exports with Austria and Switzerland; though why some portion of her trade 
should not be diverted to the United States is not quite clear. We are large 
purchasers of silk, and as a producer of silk Italy will yield the palm to China 
alone. Milan, as a silk market, ranks second only to Lyons. We are re- 
minded that Venice was once the commerci'al centre of the globe, and that 
Rome, in former times so justly celebrated for the goldsmith's art, is now the 
school of Roman gold work, which is an honor to the city, and an advantage 
to her citizens. Naturally, when the American mind reverts to Italy as a pro 
spective exhibiter in the grand exhibition of foreign arts, products, and manu 
factures, art takes the most prominent place; and we esteem it a fortunate 
turn of events in our favor, that Italian artists are overcoming their dislike of 
leaving their homes and daily avocations, and may be induced to come to 
Boston ; and that not alone in pictures will they compete with the world in 
this display of taste and skill, but in the arts which Benvenuto Cellini in the 
sixteenth century loved to exercise, in addition to his larger work as a sculp- 
tor. — *' the decorations of cups and salvers, ornamental sword and dagger 
hilts, clasps, medals and coins; displaying great skill in composition, and 
excellence in details of execution.' The tendency of the Italian people to- 
ward perfection in art, which has been developed during the past season in a 
marked degree, has been given an opportunity to present itself to the Italian 
world through the opening of the new Palace of Art on the Via Nazionale, 
at Rome, built under the direction of the architect Cavalier Pio Piacentini, 
forming the grand inauguration of an international exposition of painting, 
sculpture ; architecture, industrial, and decorative art; at the same time prov-

ing the falsity of the assertion that art is in the decadence in Italy. At the 
opening of the exposition there were displayed 500 pieces of sculpture, 1,600 
pictures, and 200 works of industrial art: all together, including ceramics, 
5,000. Out of this number, 200 works were by foreign artists, and America 
was honorably represented. 

The photograph here presented of a profile likeness in clay, by Mead, is a 
portrait of the Commissioner to Italy of the Boston Foreign Exhibition.. Mr. 
James Jackson Jarves was born in Boston in 181 8, and went to the Hawaiian 
Islands in 1838, where he filled for some years the position of United-States 
Consul at Honolulu. In that city he published the Polynesian, the first news- 
paper ever printed there; and subsequently travelled extensively in Califor-"

nia, Mexico, and in Central America, and in 1843 an d 1844 published several 
works illustrative of life in those countries. Since 1848, he has been a resi- 
dent of European countries, settling permanently in Florence, where he at 
one time made a collection of choice pictures, which, after being exhibited in 
this country under his name, became a part of the art-gallery of Yale College. 
Since that time he has published several works on painting, architecture, 
sculpture, etc.; and his fame has increased to that degree, that the expression 
of a favorable opinion by him is an indorsement eagerly sought for on both 
sides of the ocean. The subject of the Boston Foreign Exhibition having 
been presented by Mr. Jarves to the consideration of commercial people 
throughout Italy, the Chambers of Commerce have taken pains to give notice 
through the Gazetta di Torino, The Italia Artistica, and other prominent 
journals, of its opening, notwithstanding public interest was much absorbed 
by local exhibitions in the different cities, and the preparations for the great 
international exhibition at Rome in 1884. Accordingly, exhibits were at once 
promised to the Boston Exhibition, consisting of paintings, statuary, furniture, 
bronzes, silk, old Venetian glass, majolica-ware, first-class tapestries, tortoise- 
shell, lava-work, wrought iron, etc. All statues sent receive the sanction, as 
to the work, of regular professors of the local academies of fine arts, and the 
confidence of exhibiters is inspired by the personal superintendence of Mr. 
Jarves. Among prominent individuals who have promised their aid, is Gen. 
Corte, the Prefect of Tuscany, who has notified officially the officers of his 
district and the Chambers of Commerce.

GERMANY. 



The Empire of Germany, which has become by the progress of recent 
events the central figure of Europe, is the birthplace of philosophers, divines, 
and jurists, the product of whose minds and the result of whose labors have 
laid the foundation of the laws, moral and social, which now govern the civil- 
ized world. The total area of the empire, comprising twenty-five states, is 
212,091 English square miles, with a total population, according to the census 
of 1880, of 45,234,061. This magnificent domain is governed by a constitu- 
tion, the terms of which unite all the states in "an eternal union for the pro- 
tection of the realm and the care of the welfare of the German people," and 
is represented by the king of Prussia, bearing the title of Deutscher Kaiser. 
The legislative power, subject to the veto of the Kaiser, is vested in the 
Bundesrath, or federal council of sixty-two members, presided over by the 
Reichskanzler, or chancellor of the empire, possessing also the functions of 
an administrative board, with eleven standing committees, each committee 
composed of representatives of at least four states of the empire, and a 
foreign-affairs committee, including only the representatives of the kingdoms 
of Prussia, Bavaria, Saxony, and Wiirtemberg. The members of this body 
are not elected by the people, but are appointed annually by the governments 
of the several states. The members of the popular branch, called the Reichs- 
tag, 397 in number, are elected triennially by ballot, holding annual sessions.. 
The action of the Bundesrath is held in check by the Kaiser (no measures 
being allowed to become laws without his approval), and the countersign of 
the chancellor; and, on the other hand, the Kaiser, although he represents 
the empire internationally, and can enter into treaties with foreign powers, 
and carry on a war for the defence of his realm, cannot declare offensive war. 

We present to our readers the portraits of four generations of German 
princes : the reigning emperor, Wilhelm I. ; the heir-apparent, Friedrich Wil- 
helm ; his son, Prince Friedrich Wilhelm; and Friedrich Wilhelm, son of the 
latter, born May 6, 1882. Of the reigning emperor little can be said that is 
not familiar to American readers. Born March 22, 1797, the second son of 
King Friedrich Wilhelm III., and of Princess Louise of Mecklenberg-Strelitz, 
he received his early education at a military school, where he acquired the 
military habits which still cling to him, and compel him to preserve the same 
rigid decorum and discipline in regard to dress and deportment which he 
exacts from his troops. He was active in the campaigns of 1813 and 1814 
against France; and in 1829 was united in marriage to Augusta, the daughter 
of the late Grand Duke Karl Friedrich of Saxe- Weimar. In 1840 he became 
governor of the province of Pomerania, and in 1849 ne was m ^de commander- 
in-chief of the Prussian troops against the revolutionary army of Baden. 



82 FOREIGN EXHIBITION CATALOGUE. 

Other appointments of honor and emolument received by him are the military 
governorship of the Rhine-provinces in iS/[g-S7, and the regency of the king- 
dom during the illness of his brother in 1848. When the illness of his brother 
resulted in his death in 1861, Friedrich Wilhelm became king of Prussia. In 
the Franco-German war he was commander-in-chief of the German armies 
from July, 1870, to March, 1871, having been proclaimed German emperor 
at Versailles, Jan. 18 of that year. The wife of Friedrich Wilhelm, heir- 
apparent and field-marshal in the German army, is Victoria, the Princess 
Royal of Great Britain ; and the wife of their son Friedrich Wilhelm, who is 
the eldest of six children, is the Princess Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein- 
Augustenburg, the mother of the infant prince. 

In the past few years the government has advanced with rapid strides in 
the direction of a popular administration of affairs ; and under the healthful 
influence of a liberal parliament, which gave to Germany its constitution and 
its coinage, the great majority of the people eschew politics, and engage in 
the peaceful pursuit of agriculture, or, absorbed in the business of money- 
getting, attend little to the strife between Liberal and Ultramontane, and only 
remember the government to bless the emperor. With respect to the matter 
of coinage : in 1872 gold was made the standard of value by a law passed by 
the Reichstag, and in 1875 ft was ordered that the mark should be the coin in 
general use. In 1872 also the French metrical system of weights and meas- 
ures was adopted, and is still in use. With the reputation for erudition which 
Germany has acquired, it is not a matter of surprise that there is scarcely any 
illiteracy allowed to take root in the country. The public schools are supported 
by taxation of the individual, but not by a uniform tax as with us. The rate 
is about a penny a week to the individual in villages, and about a shilling per 
month in towns, — parents sending more than one child being entitled to a re- 
duction in charges. A limited number who are unable to pay are allowed to 
attend the schools, at the discretion of the board of councillors elected by the 
people. This compulsory law is enforced only in the schools of lowest grade. 
By the educational system there in vogue, the institutions of learning controlled 
by the state are classed in the following order: The village or town schools; 
the citizens' schools ; the schools wherein the languages, arts, and sciences are 
taught; the seminaries, which answer to our normal schools, except that they 
train schoolmasters for teaching in the elementary schools only; colleges, 
industrial schools, schools of agriculture, veterinary schools, and the univer- 
sities. The universities at Berlin, Bonn, Breslau, Gottingen, Halle, Kiel, 
Konigsburg, and Munster, are sufficiently familiar to Americans. These 
institutions are supported and controlled by the government ; and all educa- 
tional establishments are under the supervision of the minister of public 
instruction, who is the head of the educational system, and is responsible for 
the enforcement of certain very strict rules as to the appointment of masters, 
who are examined by the local board. If, however, any outside party is de- 
sirous of opening a private school, he is at liberty to do so after proving to the 
authorities his moral, scientific, and technical qualifications. The vast popu- 
lation of Germany, which receives the benefit of these wise regulations, has 
increased from 23,103,211 in 1816, to 45,234,061 in 1880; but in the four years 
between 1871 and 1875 the Franco-German war swept off some of the best 
and bravest manhood of Germany. During this period emigration was active, 
a quarter of a million people leaving the country in a twelvemonth : but be- 
tween 1875 and 1880 the population increased about 525,000 per annum ; and 
during the last five years there has been a general increase throughout the 
country of 2,000,000, the birth-rate being 3.91 per roo. 

A large rate of increase was noticed in 1882, both in population and emigra- 
tion. The total number of emigrants who have left their shores in the past 
sixty years is over 3,500,000 ; of which number, in one year (1881), 248,323 
were absorbed by the United States. The amount of capital transferred from 
Germany to the United States in 1881 by means of this emigration, according 



FOREIGN EXHIBITION CATALOGUE. 83 

to an estimate made by Dr. Friedrich Kappe, was ,£5,587,267. The German 
emigrant, when he comes to this country, becomes at once Americanized, and 
in due time enters into competition with his former fellow-citizens in agricul- 
tural and industrial pursuits. Another authority, the Berlin correspondent of 
The London Times, asserts that the amount of capital lost to the Fatherland 
by emigration to America is 12,300,000,000 marks; and he regards the tend- 
ency of the German people to emigrate a means of purifying the country 
from the evils of over-population. By the last reports from Germany, we 
learn that the rate of emigration has much decreased this year. The circum- 
stances which conspire to bring the German from his home by the castled 
Rhine, to seek his fortune in our manufacturing centres, or to settle not too 
firmly by our inconstant Western rivers, must, perforce, encourage the greatest 
cordiality of feeling between the people of our own country and Germany; 
and on occasions of national rejoicing, as well as of distress from national 
causes, American citizens, irrespective of original nationality, are roused to 
the most earnest expression of fraternal sympathy. In the direction of 
finance, the tendency of Germany is to centralize her forces, bringing all the 
resources of her revenue to bear upon the current expenses of the nation ; 
and if the amount ofyncome from these sources, which includes the receipts 
from the customs, the excise, the post, and the telegraph, should not be suf- 
ficient to cover the expenditure, the individual states, in proportion to their 
population, would be assessed to make up the deficit. In the budget esti- 
mates for the financial year ending March 31, 1882, the total revenue of the 
empire was set down at 596,811,409 marks, or ^29,840,570, and the expend- 
iture at the same amount. The total funded debt bearing interest at four per 
cent amounted, in 1881, to 298,951,500 marks, or ,£r 4,947,575- This is in ad- 
dition to a new debt of ,£1,483,710, authorized in 1882; and the entire amount 
has been created since 1871. The armament of the German Empire is a 
familiar theme to American readers, and the discipline and equipment of the 
military arm of the service is a constant theme for paragraph-writers all over 
the world: indeed, Germany is generally looked upon as an instructor, not 
only in the science of war, but in the methods of succoring the wounded. 
The secret of her superiority lies in her constant vigilance and watchfulness, 
and the particular attention paid by the government to frequent repairs in her 
fortifications, and improvements in munitions of war. The importance of this 
arm of the service in the estimation of this powerful nation is evident, when 
every German capable of bearing arms is liable to service for seven years, 
and no " substitution is allowed." Of the seven years' time exacted, three 
years must be spent in active service, and the remaining four in the army of 
reserve ; after which he is required to form part of the Landwehr for another 
five years ; and, by the law of 1875, anew force has been organized, called the 
Langsturm, which is divided into two classes, — the first class comprising all 
the able-bodied men up to the age of forty-two, who are not already in the 
army, and the second including those now enrolled therein. The first class 
will add 175,800 men to the German forces, making the total number of men 
in the army 1,800,000. A standing army thus universally recruited, number- 
ing two millions and a half of men without including the last reserves, may 
be placed in the field at a moment's notice. The German navy, in 1882, con- 
sisted of twenty-four iron-clads (comprising frigates, corvettes, and gunboats), 
six other steamers, and four sailing-vessels. Nine war-vessels were building, 
including two armored gunboats. The most famous of her iron-clads are the 
Kaiser and the Deutschland, twin ships, 285 feet long, fitted with eight 22-ton 
steel breech-loading Krupp guns, designed to fire broadside. The sum of 
6,890,000 marks has been set apart in the budget of 1883-84 for building an 
iron-clad and torpedo-boats, and for equipping other vessels with torpedo- 
gear. The inducements for the seafaring population to volunteer into the 
navy are sufficiently favorable; and the sailors to man the fleets being at any 
rate recruited from this class of people, who are on this account relieved from

service in the army, the number of volunteers has greatly increased in the 
past few years, — the seafaring population of 80,000 men furnishing 48,000 
for the merchant navy at home, and about 6,000 to the navy cruising in foreign 
parts. The mercantile navy numbers 4,660 vessels, of an aggregate tonnage 
of 1,181,526. The length of the railways of the empire is 21,600 miles ; includ- 
ing a comparatively unimportant portion now managed by private companies, 
but soon to come into the possession of the state. With these facilities for 
transportation, which are such valuable aids to an extensive commerce, the 
trade of the German Empire is neither so brisk nor so extensive as might be 
expected of such a powerful nation. A large proportion of the population is 
devoted to agricultural pursuits ; and the principal articles of export are the 
products of the farm, live-stock, breadstuff's, unrefined sugar, forest products, 
and cereals. 

The ports of Great Britain receive the bulk of these exports, sending back 
in exchange woollen and cotton manufactures and wrought and unwrought 
iron. And to the people of Boston, now on the eve of a grand exhibition, 
wherein will be represented the products of every nation so conspicuously 
that a complete panorama of the present condition of the arts, science, and 
agriculture of each country will meet the observation of a vast concourse of 
merchants, the questions will naturally arise, and perhaps in the near future 
will be profitably answered, Why should not the merchantable products of the 
United States find a market in Germany? and why should not Germany in- 
crease the number and variety of her exports so as to include the United 
States among the countries with which she is on terms of commercial inti- 
macy ? The present agitation of the tariff question will doubtless culminate 
in some arrangement as near, satisfactory to all parties as any system is likely 
to be in our day; and perhaps no element in the present agitation has contrib- 
uted more toward making an amicable adjustment possible, than the social 
excitement consequent on the preparations made for the Boston Foreign 
Exhibition. These preparations are likely to result in bringing to Boston a

creditable representation of textile fabrics of the highest grade, and a most 
complete collection of choice and attractive products of art-industry, the work 
of eminent masters. Honorary commissioners, who are the heads of the first 
aristocracy, and stand first among protectors of art, htive formed committees 
in the interest of the exhibition, and with the assistance of the ministers of 
commerce and finance have given the undertaking a strong moral support. 
Joined to these powerful adjuncts to complete success, are the cordially appre- 
ciated endeavors of the patriotic members of the United-States legations at 
Vienna, Stuttgart, and Dusseldorf, who have placed every facility in their 
power in the way of steady progress since the arrival out of Mr. Emil Haas, 
who placed the subject in the happiest manner before them. The German 
press, also, has found space for numerous announcements, in some cases pre- 
senting so much artistic merit as to claim attention as preliminary exhibits 
reflecting credit on the artists, on the enterprising publishers, and on the 
country from which they came. Other exhibitions are taking place in dif- 
ferent parts of the world, some near and some remote from the scene of our 
proposed display; and to succeed in the face of such competition, and bring 
Boston to the front as a commercial port, will be the pride and glory of the 
historical capital of the old Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The original 
of the picture which we subjoin is Mr. Emil Haas, Commissioner to German)-, 
Austria, and Switzerland. He is a German by birth, and has many of the 
characteristics of his countrymen. He is possessed of business talent of the 
highest order, joined to an inflexible determination to succeed in whatever he 
undertakes, and a love of country so intense that its expression in his inde- 
fatigable exertions for a creditable display of its products has raised him to 
distinction among men whose strong point is their ability to contribute to the 
glory of the Fatherland.

MAGENBITTER "ALTER SCHWEDE." 



{STOMACH BITTER) 



(OLD SWEDE) 



PHILIP GREVE-STIRNBERG, BONN ON THE RHINE, 

MANUFACTURER. 
LICENSED MARCH 12, 18S9. 
MEDALS RECEIVED AT THE EXHIBITIONS OF LONDON, 1862; DUB- 
LIN, 1865; PARIS, 1867; VIENNA, 1873; AND BREMEN, 1874. 



THE BEST DIGESTIVE REMEDY. 



MEDICAL CERTIFICATE. 

The Magenbitter "Alter Schwede " of Mr. Philip Greve-Stirnberg of Bonn 
contains, as per chemical analysis, no ingredients detrimental to health, but solely 
strengthening, tonic, and anti-spasmodic vegetable matter, which at the same time 
purifies the blood. It constitutes, therefore, a remarkably good household remedy 
against spasms and catarrhs of the stomach, colic, cholera, sea-sickness, and all head- 
ache having its origin in disorder of the said organ. This 1 attest in my capacity of 
physician. (Signed) HEINSS, M.D. 

Berlin, 19 June, 1875. 

[l.s.] 

MEDICAL CERTIFICATE CONCERNING THE STOMACH-BITTER 
CALLED "ALTER SCHWEDE." 

The Stomach Bitter called " Alter Schwede," handed to me by Mr. Philip Greve- 
Stirnberg in Bonn on the Rhine, for which medals have been awarded by many indus- 
trial exhibitions, is a most excellent preparation, exempt from all obnoxious ingre- 
dients, and valuable above all against morbid affections ot the digestive apparatus, 
as well as against many chronic disturbances of the digestive organs; e.g., loss of ap- 
petite, nausea, flatulency, constipation, heartburn, stomach-spasms, headache caused 
by a disordered stomach, sea-sickness, etc. 

Considering the various falsifications and imitations of this Stomach Bitter, it is 
advisable that the public buy the genuine "Alter Schwede" only from Mr. Philip 
Greve-Stirnberg of Bonn, as no real cure can be expected but from this preparation. 

Berlin, 19 May, 1875. HELLGERVE, M.D. 

[l.s.] 

Bonn, 27 July, 1871. 
Dear Sir, — As I cannot, to my regret, wait upon you personally on my way 
through Bonn, you will allow me to express to you herewith my most sincere thanks 
for the miracle effected by your excellent Stomach Bitter on my wife, stricken, as she 
was, with the cholera, and hopelessly given up by her physicians. . 

Very respectfully, CdUNT CHERMATIEF, 

— - Inip. R7iss. Lientenant-Geiieral. 

Mr. Philip Greve-Stirnberg, — After I had suffered for several years from a 
stomach disease, and used in vain all kinds of medicine, my health was completely 
restored by your excellent Stomach Bitter. Every slight attack, which now and 
then will occur again, is immediately removed by the same remedv. 

Bellingen. GROSSMANN, Station-master. 

Mr. Greve-Stirnberg, — For two years I have suffered of a debilitated stomach, 
and used various remedies to get rid of this evil, but without avail. Your Stomach 
Bitter, however, having proved such an excellent means for invigorating the stomach, 
I request you to send me twelve bottles of the same, with invoice, and am 

Yours truly, PROFESSOR D. S. 



For one year and a half I suffered from intermittent fever, and employed a great 
deal of medicine without resuit. Advised by an acquaintance of mine, I took a large 
glass of your Stomach Bitter "Alter Schwede," and immediately all traces of fever 
left me. Before, I had had fever at least once every day; but during the four weeks 
that I have been taking your Stomach Bitter it has entirely disappeared. This 1 
wish to attest. VON EBERSTEIN. 

Bremen, 17 June, 1868.

BELGIUM. 




LEOPOLD II., KING OF BELGIUM. 



When we survey the commercial world, adjusting the lens of critical scru- 
tiny to the sort of trade relations between its great markets which are likely to 
result in mutual advantage, we perceive Belgium to be in the foremost rank 
among the countries which claim precedence for enterprise, and a hope of swift 
advancement through a creditable display of their capabilities in the arts, 
science, and literature. It has a densely populated area of u,373 English 
square miles, which once formed a part of the Netherlands, and was estab- 
lished as a kingdom in 1830. At the formation of the government, the popula- 
tion numbered 4,000,000, which has since increased to 5,519,844. It is divided 
into nine provinces, in which the Flemish language is the one most in use, and, 
next to that, the French ; the German language being spoken by a compara-

tively small number. In the year following the revolution which resulted in 
the establishment of a separate principality, a national congress elected Prince 
Leopold of Saxe-Coburg king of the Belgians ; and the kingdom of Belgium 
was recognized by the "European powers after a treaty of peace was accom- 
plished between King Leopold I. and the King of the Netherlands. Besides 
the king, who is not held responsible for the acts of the government (his own 
acts not taking effect unless countersigned by one of the -ministers), there is a 
house of representatives and a senate. These bodies govern the formation of 
treaties and the transfer of territory. The king has the power to convoke or 
dissolve the Chambers, and sanctions or promulgates the laws. Their form of 
government is defined as " a constitutional, representative, and hereditary 
monarchy ; " and the king may nominate his successor. The members of both 
legislative branches are chosen by the people. Some of the rules governing 
these bodies will be found of interest: for instance: "No member can be 
called to account for any votes or for any opinions he may have given in the 
performance of his duties. No member can be prosecuted or arrested during 
the session, without the consent of the Chamber of which he is a member, 
except in the case of being taken in flagrante crimine." The legislature meets 
annually, in the month of November, and cannot be prorogued within forty 
days thereafter. In 1882 the Chamber of Representatives was composed of 



FOREIGN EXHIBITION CATALOGUE. 1 63 

138 members, elected in 41 electoral districts. Members not residing in the 
town where the Chamber sits receive an indemnity of 423 francs, or £16. ilt. 
per month; and the members are elected for four years, the time of one-half 
the number expiring every two years, except when a dissolution occurs, and 
a o-eneral election, which always follows such action, takes place. All parlia- 
mentary business relating to financial affairs, including the contingent of the 
army, begins in the Chamber ; and the preliminary vote is taken there. The 
members of the Senate, numbering one-half that of the Chamber, are elected 
for eight years ; and to be considered eligible for election a man must pay taxes 
to the amount of £84 sterling, he must be at least forty years of age, and must 
be a Belgian by birth or naturalization, and resident within the kingdom. The 
senators must reach the proportion of one in every six thousand of the popula- 
tion ; and in districts where no citizen pays that amount in direct taxes, the 
franchise is given to those who pay the heaviest tax, whatever it may be. They 
receive no pay, and their proceedings are of no force unless the Chamber of 
Representatives is sitting. There are seven heads of departments, and a privy 
council. 

The reigning king of Belgium, Leopold II., whose portrait we are enabled 
to present to our readers, was born in 1835, and is the son of King Leopold I., 
former Prince of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, and of Princess Louise, daughter of the 
late King Louis Philippe of the French. In 1853 he married Marie Henriette 
(the origmal of the beautiful portrait), who was born in 1836, daughter of the 
late Archduke Joseph of Austria; and at the death of his father, in 1865, 
ascended the throne. They have three children, — Princess Louise, born in 
1858, who married, in 1875, Prince Philip of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha; Princess 
Stephanie, born in 1864, who married, in 1881, the Archduke Rudolf, only son 
of the emperor of Austria and king of Hungary ; and Princess Clementine, a 
little maiden of eleven years. 

In regard to the financial status of Belgium, her liabilities on account of the 
eld debt of the Netherlands, of which she is bound to pay her share, were, in 
1882, 219,859,632 francs; and with the money raised for necessary expenses of 
the government, the debt amounted in the same year to 1,799,566,644 francs \ 
and the deficit, which in 1883 was expected to amount to ,£1,000,000, will be 
covered by an increase in taxation. In 1865 Belgium, with France, Italy, 
Greece, and Switzerland, formed a monetary league, agreeing upon the deci- 
mal system, and making the franc and the lira, or drachma, of the same value 
throughout the extent of these countries. An important source of revenue is 
the state railway, the net earnings of which in 1881 were ^908 per mile. In 
1878 the net earnings were ,£1,120; and the falling-off is attributed to the ex- 
tension of the old, and the purchase of new, unprofitable lines by the state. 

Belgium has original ideas in regard to salaries. Although she allows her 
senate to go unpaid, she furnishes part of the salaries of her clergy of all de- 
nominations, — Roman Catholic, Protestants, and Jews, in proportion to their 
numbers. The Catholics, who largely outnumber those of other denominations, 
receive the most money. The education of the people is mostly within their 
control, and is largely dependent upon the order of the Jesuits. In recent times 
there has been more attention paid to the education of the youth of the kingdom 
than was once considered necessary; and primary schools are supported by the 
combined resources of the communes, the provinces, and the state ; the weight 
of the expenditure falling on the commune, which represents four-sixths, the 
provinces one-sixth, and the government one-sixth. The proportion one-sixth 
represents also the proportion of the adult population who are unable to read 
and write. It is recorded, that in i88r, out of 49,095 young men who were 
called out for military service, 7,707 could neither read nor write, and 16,288 
possessed a superior education. Even- able-bodied man who has reached the 
age of nineteen years is liable to military service for eight years, with two-thirds 
of the time allowed for furlough. Substitution is permitted. The full strength 
of the army in time of war is to be 100,000 men, and 40,000 in time of peace.

In addition to the standing army, there is a Garde Civique, numbering 30,954 
men, organized as a sort of state militia; and 90,000 non-active men as a 
reserve. The strengthening of the fortifications at Antwerp, where the most 
important military arsenal is situated, has cost the government 80,000,000 francs 
since 1859. 

The proportion, one-fifth, of the population engaged in agriculture, repre- 
sents also the proportion engaged in trade and manufacture. According to 
offifial statistics, the value of the general commerce in 1881 was ^111,513,243 
of imports, and ^98,424,971 of exports. The value of the imports for home 
consumption was ^65,194,882, and that of the exports of home produce was 
^52,106,804. The importations from France constitute the larger share, with 
the United States holding the second place, and Great Britain the fifth. In 
the export market, France also takes precedence of all countries, and the 
United States is not even mentioned, Great Britain ranking next to France. 
The exported articles consist of woollen manufactures, flax, metals, coal, and 
the products of the farm, including rabbits, which amounted in value, in 1881, 
to ,£278,598. In return, Belgium imports cotton and woollen manufactures and 
iron. By the latest information which we can obtain, the merchant-marine is 
represented by 68 vessels, of an aggregate burthen of 75,666 tons, comprising 
42 steamers, of a total burthen of 65,224 tons.

THE NETHERLANDS,

WILLEM III., KING OF THE NETHERLANDS. 



The present limits of this principality embrace a total area of 12.648 square 
miles, with a population in 1881 of 4.114,077, which is divided into eleven 
provinces, including those of North and South Holland. The Grand Duchy 
of Luxembourg forms part of the kingdom, although it possesses a separate 
administration. The legislative authority of the realm is vested in a Parliament 
composed of two Chambers, called the States General; the Upper House con- 
sisting of thirty-nine members, elected by the provincial states from the citizens 
of the various sections who pay the highest taxes. The second Chamber 
numbers eighty-six members, who are elected by ballot at the rate of one deputy

to every 45,000 souls. These members are paid ^166 annualh', besides travel- 
ling expenses. All citizens are qualified to vote who pay a tax of not less than 
£1. \-$s. Clergymen, judges of the high court of justice, and governors of 
provinces, are not permitted to hold these offices. In case the king dissolves 
either Chamber, which he is qualified to do, new elections must take place 
within forty days. Bills are first introduced into the second Chamber; and the 
Upper House may approve or reject, but it cannot amend, measures passed by 
the other branch. 

The king's cabinet attends the sessions of both houses, but its members 
cannot join in the debate. It is in the power of the king to veto any measure 
of which he does not approve, but this prerogative is seldom used. Eight 
heads of departments constitute the cabinet, each drawing a salary of ^1,000 
per annum; and the only peculiarity in regard to their relations with the sove- 
reign is, that certain princes of the royal family who are nominated for the 
purpose have the privilege of being present at the meetings of the cabinet 
whenever the sovereign presides over their deliberations. In addition to this 
number of advisers, there is a state council of fourteen members, who are 
consulted on occasions of extraordinary interest. 

Willem III., the reigning king of the Netherlands, was born in. 1817, eldest 
son of King Willem II., of the house of Orange, and of Princess Anna 
Paulowna, daughter of Emperor Paul I. of Russia. He received a careful 
preliminary education in charge of private tutors, and graduated at the Univer- 
sity of Leyden. In 1839 ne married Princess Sophie, who was born in 181 8, 
the second daughter of Wilhelm I. of Wiirttemberg ; and in 1849, at tne death 
of his father, he succeeded to the throne. In 1879, tne Princess Sophie having 
died two years previous, he was married to the Princess Emma, born in 1858, 
the daughter of Prince George Victor of Waldeck. In addition to a civil list

of ,£50,000, the king has an allowance of £12,500 for the members of the royal 
family and the maintenance of the court and the royal palaces ; and also the 
benefit of a very large private fortune, which, it is said, " King Willem I. 
acquired in the prosecution of vast enterprises tending to raise the commerce 
of the Netherlands." In regard to the education of the masses, it is estimated 
that about one-fourth of the adult males in the rural districts can neither read 
nor write, and about one-third of the adult females. It is evident, however, 
that time will make favorable changes in this state of things ; as, by a law passed 
in 1878, education is made compulsory. 

Primary instruction is borne jointly by the state and the communes, the 
state being responsible for thirty per cent. The attendance is in the propor- 
tion of one to eight. 

For instruction in the higher branches, there are Latin-schools, private 
middle-class schools, and technical schools of various kinds. There is a 
polytechnical institution at Delft, and ecclesiastical training-schools. There 
are four universities, whose names are familiar to every reader, and whose 
instruction has been enjoyed by man}- American students : they are Leyden, 
Groningen, Amsterdam, and Utrecht. The revenue derived from excise duties, 
principally on spirits, and from the direct tax on land, the assessment upon 
individuals and from stamps, in 1881 amounted to £8,759,217; and the ex- 
penditure, of which the public debt (which in 1882 was represented by 
£78,442.370, bearing an interest of £2,419,222) forms the principal part, 
amounted, in the same year, to £10.372,244, leaving a deficit of £1,613,027. 
In 1875 an act was passed by the States General, setting aside £833,333 for 
the redemption of the national debt. In the budget estimates for the year 1882, 
there was a deficit of £1,880,507. The total revenue of the East-Indian 
colonies, as estimated for 1882, amounted to £11,576,142, and the expenditure 
to £12.383.302. These possessions embrace an area of 6,591,290 square miles, 
with a population of 25,530,426, and are divided into the East-Indian Colonies, 
the West-India Islands, and the colony of Surinam in South America. The 
military department, which is recruited by conscription and by volunteer enlist- 
ment, comprises the regular army and the militia; the latter being divided into 
the "active militia,'' numbering 30,000 men from twenty-five to thirty-four years 
of age, subdivided into, first, the unmarried men, and widowers without chil- 
dren, and, second, married soldiers. The "resting militia" numbers 40,000 
men, from thirty-five to fifty-five years of age, organized into eighty-nine battal- 
ions. Another'arm of the'service is represented by the " Landstorm," and the 
" Society of Sharpshooters ; " the former embracing all between nineteen and 
fifty years of age capable of bearing arms. The term of service of the men 
who are drawn by conscription at the age of twenty is nominally five years ; 
but the actual service does not amount to more than twelve months, with annual 
meetings for six-weeks' drill during four years. The regular army stationed in 
the Netherlands, Jan. 1, 1882, officers and rank and file, numbered 65,007 men; 
those stationed in the Dutch East Indies, 32,149 officers and men. In the 
Dutch West Indies there are about 600 officers and men, besides several com- 
panies of volunteers. The navy of the Netherlands in January, 1882, was 
composed of 103 steamers, including seventeen iron-clads and nineteen sailing- 
vessels. The largest iron-clads are the " Koning der Nederlanden," built at 
Amsterdam; the " Schorpioen," constructed at Marseilles: the " Guinea," the 
" Buffel " and the " Stier," the " De Ruyter," built at Flushing, and the " Prince 
Hendrick der Nederlanden," a double-turret ship, celebrated for its fast sailing, 
built at Birkenhead. The unarmored ships comprise twenty-four corvettes and 
several avisos and gun-boats, all screw-steamers. The marine infantry consists 
of 56 officers and 2,190 non-commissioned officers and privates. The ranks are 
recruited by enlistment; conscription being allowed, but rarely resorted to. 
Germany is the principal export market of the Netherlands, and Great Britain 
stands first on the list for imports. The principal articles of export are 
agricultural products. The importations consist of cotton goods, including 



i 7 8

yarn, iron wrought and unwrought, and woollen manufactures. The total 
tonnage of the mercantile navy in r88i was about 500,000 tons. The sales of 
colonial produce, chiefly coffee and tin, are effected through the Netherlands 
Trading Company, acting as agents of the government. In 1882 there were 
1,230 miles of railway, 630 of which were owned by the state. The total earn- 
ings of the 600 miles owned by private companies, after reckoning the total 
expenses, leave a balance in the treasury of 5,309,071 francs. 



THE COMMISSIONER AND HIS WORK. 




FRANK H. NORTON. 



Mr. Frank H. Norton, Commissioner to Holland and Belgium, is a 
resident of New York, where he is well known in literary circles by his contri- 
butions to literature and the press, and his connection for a period of ten years 
with the Astor Library, as assistant librarian. Of an old Boston family, he 
early entered a journalist's career on one of the leading newspapers of New- 
York city; subsequently occupying the positions of editor of the " Fifth-avenue 
Journal " and of the " Era,"' and that of managing editor of the " New-York 
Commercial Advertiser, 1 ' and literary and art editor of " Noah's Sunday 
Times," and for years forming one of the staff of Frank Leslie's numerous 
publications. He performed some excellent labor in this capacity at Philadel- 
phia during the Centennial Exposition, and edited the work published by Frank 
Leslie, entitled " The Historical Register," containing a full account, with 
illustrations, of its proceedings. His knowledge of the modus operandi of 
exhibitions was called to account last year at Atlanta, Ga., where he passed 
several months, and prepared a report of the agricultural department of the 
exhibition, and read a poem as a part of the closing ceremonies. During the 



FOREIGN EXHIBITION CATALOGUE. 1 79 

last presidential campaign, he wrote a biography of Gen. Winfield S. Hancock, 
which was published by D. Appleton & Co. ; and there has recently appeared 
in New York a life of Alexander H. Stephens, from his pen. These are a few 
of the labors, at once suggesting themselves, which form but a small part of 
the work of a busy man, who has not yet reached middle life. His literary 
efforts embrace a wide range, from political economy and works of fiction to 
biography and correspondence. 

Mr. Norton's work for the Boston Foreign Exhibition Association will speak 
for itself in the near future. His impressions of Holland are of a kind, 
courteous, and hospitable people, calculated to win the American heart. , On 
his arrival in Belgium, the commissioner laid before the manufacturers and 
producers of that country the specific and exceptional advantages of this 
exhibition, as a means for opening up an extensive and lucrative trade with 
America, as illustrated by the demand for Chinese and Japanese goods 
awakened by the Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia in 1876, a trade which 
has proved to be most important and permanent. His presentation of the 
exclusively foreign feature of the exhibition has made a very favorable impres- 
sion in Holland and Belgium, where it is considered an original and very 
American idea, possessing peculiar attractions for those merchants who realize 
the serious importance of the results which are likely to follow the increase of 
the trade between these countries and the United States, and who respect the 
means employed and the promoters of the grand scheme who have made this 
result possible. We have the honor and pleasure of recording such attentions 
from the consuls of the most important districts, feeling certain that their 
efforts will add one more laurel to names already famous. 

The Hon. William L. Dayton, United-States Minister to the Hague, was so 
good as to bring the exhibition before the favorable consideration of the gov- 
ernment of the Netherlands, of the Minister of Public W T orks, of the Colonial 
Minister, and of the Minister of the Interior; and the latter very willingly con- 
sented to forward the enterprise by any means within his functions. The 
valuable co-operation of Consul Eckstein in interesting the manufacturers of 
Amsterdam, Deven^^, and other cities, is fully known and appreciated ; and 
Consul Tanner, at Liege, who has already distinguished himself by the impor- 
tant part he has acted in behalf of American trade journals, and in the extension 
of our trade in several branches, has personally displayed the utmost interest 
in the enterprise, and has expressed his appreciation of the economical and 
systematical arrangements which have been made for the transportation to the 
exhibition and the sale of goods. 

Honorable mention should be made of Hon. Nicholas Fish, Minister to the 
court at Belgium, for presenting the objects of the exhibition to the Minister 
of the Interior, who at once promised to assist the commissioner's efforts to 
the extent of his ability, by recommending its objects to the great industrial 
establishments, and otherwise employing his powerful influence in its behalf. 
It is to the hearty co-operatron of these gentlemen, joined to the intelligence 
and quick perception of the members of the press of those cities, that, through 
the columns of the most prominent journals, the artists, merchants, and manu- 
facturers of Brussels, Antwerp, Amsterdam, Schiedam, the Hague, Rotterdam, 
and Haarlem, have been made acquainted with the purposes of the exhibition, 
and the facilities offered for forwarding goods. 

As a result of these combined efforts, we have in prospect a fine collection 
of paintings from the societies of arts at Amsterdam and the Hague, the 
oldest in the kingdom, which will include the best productions of Dutch art; 
from Brussels, works of art, furniture, and accessories; from Malines, carved 
cak furniture; from the neighborhood of Charleroi, window-glass and iron; 
from Delft, potteTy and carpets ; from Liege, the new inventions of the gun- 
makers ; from Spa, the celebrated Spa-wood, carved into objects of great 
beauty, artistically painted; from Verviers, where the secretary of the Board 
of Trade has given his time personally to the work for the interest of his

clocks ; from Mechlin, lace ; and, in general, a creditable display of liquors, 
laces, bronze, iron and brass, ornamer + nl furniture, church ornaments and 
church vestments, glass, and other prot. icts, varied and ingenious, of the 
largest manufactories in Belgium and the Netherlands.

FRANCE 




FRANCOIS P. JULES GREW, 

President of the Republic of France, was born at Montsous-Vaudrez, 
Department of Jura, Aug. 15, 1813. He chose the profession of law, and having 
completed his studies became a member of the Constituent Assembly of 1848-9, 
and of the Legislative Body of 1868-70. He was a member of the National 
Assembly from 1871 to 1875, and filled the positions of President of the As- 
sembly 1871—3, and President of the Chamber of Deputies 1876-9, and in. 
1879 was elected President of the Republic. 



202 FOREIGN EXHIBITION CATALOGUE. 



The Republic of France, whose capital was the scene of the signing of the 
treaty of peace between Great Britain and the United States one hundred years 
ago, was roused to some degree of interest in the Foreign Exhibition of Boston 
early in April of the present year, by the representations of Mr. Edward King, 
the Commissioner of the Foreign Exhibition Association for France. The state- 
ments of Mr. King were prefaced by the circulars of the Department of State 
at Washington, which set forth the objects of the Association, giving them an 
official sanction, and largely assisting in their distribution. The descendants 
of the friendly signers of the treaty have not been backward in announcing to 
their countrymen the celebration of the centennial anniversary, or in recom- 
mending to their consideration the aims and objects of the association which 
has worked so assiduously to make the exhibition a worthy representation of 
the industrial aft of contemporaneous civilization. In an atmosphere of severe 
criticism by artists and manufacturers, on account of the increase in the tariff, 
the subject was broached ; and also in opposition to its swift advancement in 
popular favor were the preparations for several other exhibitions more or less 
remote, and the triennial exhibition in which all local interest is centred, all to 
open prior to the time set for the opening of the Foreign Exhibition. The first 
meeting in favor of the Boston exposition took place in Paris, April 4. There 
were present the Marquis de Rochambeau, M. Caubert, M. Bartholdi, M. Chot- 
teau, the Hon. George Walker, United States Consul-General ; the latter gen- 
tleman acting as chairman. A document showing the outline and scope of the 
enterprise was read and signed by gentlemen present. On the day of the death 
of the lamented Laboulaye, a letter was received from him by the Secretary of 
the Foreign Exhibition in Boston, accepting with thanks the certificate for hon- 
orary commissioner. He had been made honorary president of the Executive 
Committee for France, with Count de Lesseps. The following gentlemen, having 
been invited to join the committee, have since acted as honorary commissioners : 
namely, MM. Dietz-Monnin (President of the Paris Chamber of Commerce), 
Louis Simonin, Fouret, Le Vasseur, Chatel, Genet, Martel, Valton, Lavoine, 
and Saintin, members of the French jury at the celebration of the centennial 
of American independence by the Exposition at Philadelphia in 1876. The 
Journal Official, of the day on which the meeting took place, contained a notice 
from the Ministry of Commerce, "bringing to the knowledge of French manu- 
facturers the information relative to the exhibition and the text of the regula- 
tions." Mr. Daniel Wilson, son-in-law of President Grevy, kindly consented 
to become one of the vice-presidents of the Honorary Commission, with Mr. 
Edward King, president. Other members of the commission are the Hon. Levi 
P. Morton, United-States Minister to France ; Mr. Theodore Stanton, a young 
American residing in Paris, Secretary of the Commission ; Mr. Bozerain, the 
son of the Senator of that name ; M. Foucher de Careil ; M. Barral of the 
Agricultural Society, etc. 

A press service was organized ; and notices of the exhibition appeared in 
the Soleil, the Paix, the Temps, the Soi'r, the Telegraphie, and other morning 
and evening papers, in all about two hundred. On the 19th of May, a ban- 
quet was prepared at the Grand Hotel in Paris, in honor of the Boston Foreign 
Exhibition, at which M. de Lesseps (who was the first to promise that he would 
do anything he could to facilitate the matter, and gave his signature to a paper 
in March) presided, with Mr. Morton, the American Minister, on his right, and 
Minister Cochery on his left. An enthusiastic meeting followed the dinner, at 
which speeches were made by Mr. Morton, Consul-General Walker, M. Coche- 
ry, M. Herrison (Minister of Commerce), M. Louis Ulbach the novelist, M. 
Blowiz of the London Times, M. Herve (editor of an Orleanist journal), etc. 
Many members of the Chamber of Deputies were present, and the Prefect of 
the Seine. Greetings were sent by cable from Boston to Paris, and thanks to 
the French committee. Another large meeting was held June 1, at the hotel 
of the Syndical Chambers, presided over by Count de Lesseps, and attended by 
a large number of manufacturers and commercial people, most of whom were 



FOREIGN EXHIBITION CATALOGUE. 203 

familiar with Boston and its trade. At this meeting it was voted to take the 
necessary measures to provide for an adequate representation of France at the 
exhibition. In the latter part of June, the city council of Paris passed an order 
to devote 20.000 francs to sending a delegation of workmen to the exhibition ; 
and the French consul at Boston, M. Yerleye, was appointed by the government 
of France, commissioner to the Foreign Exhibition. 




M. ADOLPH SALMON. 



Mr. Salmon, a member of the committee, was delegated by the committee 
one of its representatives in Boston for any thing which might concern the 
French section. He has had large business connections with America, and is 
conversant with all commercial matters of a Franco- American character. This 
admirable choice is equalled by the selection, by the Paris Municipal Council, of 
the official delegates, M. Jobbe-Duval, vice-president, and M. Amouroux, secre- 
tary ; and the appointment by M. J. Meline, the Minister of Agriculture, of M. 
Grosjean, a graduate of the National Agronomical Institute, delegate. As part 
of the Foreign Exhibition concerning which so much has been said and written, 
and of which so much is hoped, the visitor will notice many objects essentially 
Parisian, and interesting manufactures, which, however, are still far from con- 
stituting the completed French exhibit. There are designs or patterns for cotton 
and silk goods, cigar and cigarette holders, pipes, rubber and wax flowers, musi- 
cal instruments, French laundry blue, chaplets, ormolu goods, bonbons, wines, 
(clarets), champagnes, absinthe, Parisian diamonds, eye-glasses, porcelain, etc.

New TTork Tribune. 



THE LEADING AMERICAN NEWSPAPER. 



The WEEKLY and SEMI-WEEKLY NEW-YORK TRIBUNE rank in 
character with such high-priced journals as " Harper's Weekly," but are much 
cheaper papers. 

The Semi-Weekly Tribune is suited to readers in parts of the country away 
from New York, who want something more than merely their own local news. It is, 
in some respects, the best, as well as the cheapest, paper sent out from the Trib- 
une office. Besides the news, it contains all the literary, agricultural, and domestic 
miscellany, and all the special articles prepared for the Weekly. It has also most 
of the editorial articles not strictly local in their application. It is printed in sixteen- 
page form. It is immeasurably the most successful semi-weekly in the 
country ; having now, as it has had for years, more, than four times the circulation of 
any other semi-weekly issued in New York. Recent work in the press-room has 
enabled us to deliver the paper to readers east of the Alleghanies on the day of publi- 
cation ; to those west of the Alleghanies, nearly as far as the plains, on the day after. 

The Weekly Tribune is being delivered to readers from twelve to twenty 
four hours earlier than for years, owing to improvements above referred to. The 
special features of the Weekly are : The broad ground covered by its news ; letters 
from all parts of the United States and from foreign lands ; a strong Agricultural 
Department, under the management of an experienced editor, with several assistants, 
and a large corps of special contributors ; market-reports which are the official 
standard for the Dairymen's Association; "Household Interests;" "Our Young 
Folks;" "Knitting and Crochet;" the literary reviews ; the story; the foreign let- 
ters ; the ability and energy of the editorial pages ; the American spirit pervading the 
whole paper; and the bright and entertaining miscellany. Every year the paper 
prints several good stories and novels. Another point is the large, plain, easily-read 
type. 

The Weekly Tribune. — A single cop}', one year, $2.00; five copies, one year, 
$1.50 each ; ten copies, one year, $1.00 each. 

The Semi-Weekly Tribune. — Single copy, one year, $3.00; five copies, one 
year, $2.50 each ; ten copies, one year, $2.00 each.

jf&vil&r|d & Co. 



A T the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Phila- 
delphia, Haviland & Co. had the honor of 
making the first public exhibition of their present 
famous Limoges Faience. 

The taste for Ceramics has steadily increased in 
this country since that time; and Haviland & Co., 
always prepared to supply the American public 
with something better than it is possible for other 
manufacturers to produce, have lately employed 
their best designers, artists, and sculptors in the 
production of a Pottery new to Decorative Art, 

"GRES-HAVILAND," 

in which they take special pride. 

The initial exhibit of this admirable pottery is 
made at the present time.

TRACTS. — HOME COLLEGE SERIES. 

Price, each, 5 cents. Price per hundred, for cash, $3.50. 

The " Home College Series " will contain short papers on a wide range of subjects, — biographical, 
^historical, scientific, literary, domestic, political, and religious. Indeed, the religious tone will character- 
ize all of them. They are written for everybody, — for all whose leisure is limited, but who desire to use 
the minutes for the enrichment of life. 

These papers contain seeds from the best gardens in all the world of human knowledge, and, if 
■dropped wisely into good soil, will bring forth harvests of beauty and value. 

They are for the young — especially for young people (and older people too) who are out of the 
schools, who are full of " business" and " cares," who are in danger of reading nothing, or of reading a 
sensational literature that is worse than nothing. 

A young man may have his own little " college " all by himself, read this series of tracts one after the 
other (there will soon be a hundred of them ready), examine himself on them by the "Thought-Outline 
to Help the Memory," and thus gain knowledge, and, what is better, a love of knowledge. 

And what a young man may do in this respect, a young woman, and botli old men and old women, 
may do.

has correspondents at all of the important missionary fields in the world ; it has the 
latest scientific items ; it has excellent commercial and financial articles ; it has 
reviews of new books and literary news unexcelled by any paper ; it has, besides the 
editorials, twenty-two distinct departments, edited by twenty-two specialists, which

GREAT BRITAIN. 




VICTORIA I. 
Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, and Empress of India. 

One hundred years ago a treaty was ratified between Great Britain and the 
United States, by the terms of which we were to remain forever at peace, and 
in consideration of which we have, with the comparatively slight exception of 
a few years, lived amicably with her and her dependencies. With pride we see 
the growth of the principles for which in our earliest youth Ave were chastised : 
but which, because of the independence bred in the bone of her own offspring, 
she was forced to acknowledge were part of her own constitution, for which she

ALBERT EDWARD, PRINCE OF WALES. 

was responsible, and which spread and increase and bear witness, in the gradual 
progress of republicanism, to the precocious wisdom manifest in the child which 
the mother-country was slow to acknowledge. Aggressive as Great Britain has 
been, wherever the English flag floats, religion, morality, education, enterprise, 
and equity are found ; and the countries she has added to the vast domain over 
which the most powerful sovereign reigns to-day reflect a moral power to which 
they were strangers one hundred years ago. The power which controls this 
vast empire is by the British constitution vested in Parliament ; but the sove- 
reign, and the sovereign alone, can cause Parliament to convene, that body 
not having the right of meeting for legislative purposes of its own accord ; and 
the writ of the sovereign must be issued out of chancer}-, by advice of the 
privy council, at least thirty-five days previous to the appointed day for the 
meeting. It is also compulsory for the Crown to summon Parliament annually, 
as it were in self-defence, as the supplies are only granted for a year. The 
House of Commons settles the subject of taxation, and may or may not grant 
the supplies to the Crown. It is customary for Parliament to meet from the 
middle of February to the middle of August. Unlike the working of our 
State legislature, which refers unsettled measures near the close of the session 
"to the next General Court," all bills which have not passed during the session 
are thrown out of Parliament entirely on the prorogation which closes the ses- 
sion. The House of Lords and the House of Commons must be prorogued 
at the same time, and either by the sovereign in person, by commission from 
the Crown, or by proclamation; and it is summoned to resume business by 
royal proclamation issued fourteen days prior to the time of meeting. A disso- 
solution of Parliament may be brought about by a decree of the sovereign, 
personally expressed, or by commissioner, by proclamation, or " by the lapse 
of time." The seats in the House of Lords are filled by inheritance ; by peers 
created by the sovereign (the power of creation being unrestricted) ; by virtue 
of office, as English bishops; by election for life, as in the case of Irish peers; 
and by election for the duration of Parliament, as in the case of Scottish peers. 



FOREIGN EXHIBITION CATALOGUE. 255 

The members of the House of Commons consist of representatives of counties, 
of cities, and of boroughs, amounting to six hundred and thirty-nine. A mem- 
ber of Parliament must be twenty-one years of age, and no other qualification 
is necessary: but all clergymen, government contractors, sheriffs, and returning- 
officers are disqualified from voting, or from election as members of Parliament. 
Parliament may be appealed to as the highest court of law; and its authority 
extends to all ecclesiastical, temporal, civil, or military matters, and it even has 
the power to change the constitution. Practically, the government is adminis- 
tered by the Cabinet, which has the functions of the Privy Council of ancient 
times, the members of which bear the title of Right Honorable. The Cabinet 
is virtually appointed by Parliament; and the chief of the ministry, who is the 
First Lord of the Treasury, has the privilege of recommending his fellow-mem- 
bers to those whose decision will make them his colleagues. The titles of the 
other members of the Cabinet are the Lord Chancellor, the Lord President of 
the Council, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the five Secretaries of State 
(who are designated by their professional duties), and the Lord Privy Seal, the 
First Lord of the Admiralty, the President of the Board of Trade, the Vice- 
President of the Committee of Council on Education, the Postmaster General, 
the Chief Secretary for Ireland, and the President of the Local Government 
Board. It often happens, however, that men of character and influence are 
invited to take part in the deliberations of this body, who do not fill any par- 
ticular office in the Cabinet ; and no record is kept of the resolutions passed at 
its sessions. Members of the Cabinet have seats in either the Upper or Lower 
House. We give our readers the latest photographic likeness of the well- 
beloved queen called Victoria I., Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, and 
Empress of India. She was born at Kensington Palace, London, May 24, 
1 819, the daughter of Edward, Duke of Kent, fourth son of King George III., 
and of Princess Victoria of Saxe-Saalfeld-Coburg, widow of Prince Enrich of 
Leiningen. At the death of her uncle, King William IV., in 1837, she ascended 
the throne, and was crowned at Westminster Abbey, June 28, 1838. In 1840 
she married Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, who died in 1861. Of the 
children of the Queen, eight in number, Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, 
interests us most, on account of his possible heirship to the British throne, and 
the well-known liberality of his principles, which have made him second only 
to his royal mother in popularity. He was born in 1841, and married, in 1863, 
the Princess Alexandra, eldest daughter of King Christian IX. of Denmark. 
He has five children, — Albert Victor, George, Louise, Alexandra, and Maud. 
England, which contains ancient seats of learning of so great distinction, 
would be expected to lead the world in education, and display a proud array of 
corroborative figures; but last returns, in 1882, show that over 14 per cent of 
the males and 18.6 per cent, of the females who were married — the number of 
marriages in England and W T ales being 191,965 — made " marks," instead of sign- 
ing their names, on the marriage-register. In most parishes, the men are in ad- 
vance of the women in elementary education ; the uneducated of both sexes 
being found in the greatest numbers in mining and manufacturing communities. 
In 1 882 the annual grant to primary schools in Great Britain was ^2,749,8^3. Ac- 
cording to published statistics, the total revenue- of the kingdom for the financial 
year ending March 31, 1883, was ^87,197,000; and the total expenditure was 
^87,396,813, the deficit being due to an addition of ,£2,300,000 on account of the 
Egyptian war. The regular army, exclusive of India, consists of 6,819 com- 
missioned officers, 17,856 non-commissioned officers, trumpeters, and drummers, 
and 108,230 rank and file, a total of 132,905 men of all ranks. Fifty per cent are 
stationed in England and Wales, 3 per cent in Scotland, 25 per cent in Ireland, 
and 22 per cent abroad, including India, where the total force amounts to 
61,590 men of all ranks. The net charge for army services for the year ending 
March 31, 1883, was ^15,458,100. The ordinary expenditure for the navy for 
the same period was ^11,156,900, an increase of ,£429,981. The ironclad fleet 
of war consisted, in 1882, of 74 ships, of which 55 were afloat, 3 were not

strictly British (being built solely for the defence of the colonies), 6 were on 
the stocks, and 10 were "inefficient for naval warfare." The total area of the 
United Kingdom in 1881 was 77,417,509 acres, and the total population was 
35,262,762. The commercial transactions of Great Britain are carried on with 
comparatively few countries ; more than one-half of the imports coming from 
the United States, France, India, Germany, Australasia, and the Netherlands. 
More than one-half of the exports are sent to India, Australasia, Germany, the 
United States, France, and the Netherlands ; and the imports from these coun- 
tries are gradually increasing. At the end of the year 1881, there were 18,180 
miles of railway open for traffic in the United Kingdom. The total area of the 
colonial possessions of Great Britain is estimated at 7,647,000 square miles, — 
three million square miles in America, half a million in Africa, a million in 
Asia, and over two millions and a half in Australasia. Those in America com- 
prise the Bahamas, a group of 800 islands, of which 20 are inhabited; the 
Bermudas, a group of 300 islands, of which 15 are inhabited; the Dominion 
of Canada ; and other possessions on the coast of North and South America, 
whose industry, and the gradual development of the arts within the ever- 
widening circle of their influence, add yearly to the value of her commerce, 
and, providing new routes for the steamers and new ports for the ships of their 
mother-country, prolong the peaceful relations of the great powers of the world 
with the mighty empire " whose flag has braved a thousand years the battle 
and the breeze." 



THE COMMISSIONER AND HIS WORK. 

Carroll D. Wright, Commissioner to England, Scotland, and Wales, 
was born in Dunbarton, N.H., son of the Rev. N. R. Wright, now a resident 
of Woburn, Mass. His childhood was passed in the rural districts of New 
Hampshire; and his studies, which were pursued at the public schools and 
academies, were carefully superintended by his father. At the age of sixteen 
he removed to Reading, Mass., and alternately attended and taught school 
until, in i860, he began the study of law in the office of the Hon. William P. 
Wheeler, of Keene, N.H. In 1861, he came to Massachusetts, and entered 
the office of Erastus Worthington, Esq., of Dedham, and subsequently that of 
Tolman Willey, Esq., of Boston. In 1862 he enlisted as a private in Com- 
pany C, Fourteenth New-Hampshire Volunteers, and was commissioned sec- 
ond lieutenant before leaving the State, by Governor Berry. While holding this 
office he occupied the positions of company officer, commissary of brigade at 
Poolesville, Md., officer in charge of central prison in Washington, adjutant to 
the provost-marshal of Washington, aide-de-camp to Gen. Martindale, military 
governor of the department of Washington. In 1863 he was appointed adju- 
tant of his regiment with the rank of first lieutenant, and while holding this posi- 
tion filled those of assistant adjutant-general of the district of Carrolton, La., and 
of the first brigade, second division, Nineteenth Corps, in Louisiana, and during 
Sheridan's campaign in the Shenandoah in the autumn of 1864. At the close 
of this campaign he was commissioned colonel of his regiment. In March, 
1865, he resigned on account of sickness, and resumed the study of law with 
Mr. Willey in Boston. In October of the same year he was admitted to the 
bar, but, on account of disease contracted in the army, was unable to open 
an office for himself until August, 1867, and was admitted to practice in the 
United-States Courts in October of that year. In 1871 he was elected to 
the Massachusetts Senate from the Sixth Middlesex District, and was re-elected 
the following year, doing the State good service as chairman of the committee 
on insurance, and on military affairs. In 1873 he was appointed chief of the

COLONEL CARROLL D. WRIGHT. 



Bureau of Labor Statistics, and has held the position to the present time, 
having been re-appointed by successive governors, including Gov. Butler the 
present year. He was presidential elector in 1876, supervisor of census for 
Massachusetts for the United-States census of 1880, and special agent of 
United-States census, 1880, on the factory system, which necessitated a trip to 
Great Britain and the Continent of Europe, and a visit to the leading manufac- 
turing towns of those countries. During his present mission he has collected 
statistics of great value to the State for perfecting the work of his bureau. 
In relation to his work for the Foreign Exhibition, the following is his official 
report, condensed to the limits prescribed for our article. His office in London 
was with Mr. J. H. Redman, 7 Moorgate Street, the forwarding-house con- 
nected with the leading railroad-lines of Great Britain and Continental agen- 
cies, which has been employed in transporting exhibits over the various 
steamship-lines to Boston. 

The obnoxious feature of the tariff, that from a British point of view has 
never been at its best, interfered with the work of the commissioner in Eng- 
land, as seriously as it has done in Italy and France. Several members of 
Parliament, however, were not blind to the advantage that might accrue to indi- 
vidual exhibiters ; among them Sir Lyon Playfair, who has been of great ser- 
vice to the exhibition. Through him the fine exhibits of Messrs. Trollope & 
Son, and Messrs. Morris & Co., were secured. The well-known shipping- 
house of Adamson & Ronaldson, agents for the Furness Line of steamships, 
used their influence so far as practicable in favor of the objects of the exhibi- 
tion ; and Messrs. Leveson were active in Bristol and Cardiff and vicinity, and 
Messrs. Oliver & McArmor in Liverpool, Manchester, Nottingham, etc. Mr. 
Herbert T. Cole also gave his time to the work of forwarding the undertaking. 
By means of circulars, and the insertion of appropriate paragraphs in the most 
influential newspapers, the British public was made acquainted with the sub- 
ject, and an interest created that has resulted in a creditable display of British

exhibits. The artists of Liverpool were especially desirous that their work 
should find a place beside those of Italy and France; and the commissioner be- 
lieves that his mission to England was reasonably successful, when exhibitions 
in India, on the Continent, and in various counties in England, were bidding 
for exhibits from the field to which he was sent. Among the most important 
exhibits are the Wellington Emery Mills, emety, emery-cloth, etc. (the first ex- 
hibit set up in the Foreign Exhibition), and those containing anvils, refrigera- 
tors, wire-rope, iron slag-wire, tin-ware, fire-brick, clay, cement (ridge and 
roofing), glazed wall and hearth tiles, earthen water-filters of various kinds, 
decorated pottery, decorated earthenware, ivory, porcelain and Parian goods, 
asbestos paint, packing, etc., patent safety blasting-fuse, guns, pistols, optical, 
mathematical, engineering, and scientific instruments, stained glass, furs and 
skins manufactured and raw. Other goods, like polishes, condiments, tapers, 
inks, and the like, are well represented. Carding and other machinery from 
England are part of the only exhibit of machinery in the exhibition.

caters only to the intelligent, fastidious, and ambitious, A 
great deal of attention is being paid at this time to purely 
practical topics of vital interest.

THE K ING OF BI TTERS. 

THE GREAT TONIC OF THE AGE 




A NEVER FAILING APPETIZER 

MUCH USED IN INDIA 



1 



TRADE MARK 

KHOOSH TONIC. 

The great East-Indian remedy for all bilious and liver complaints. Has been used in 
the East Indies from time immemorial, and can be depended upon for either func- 
tional derangement of the liver, or obstruction of the hepatic or biliary ducts, such as 
Indigestion, Jaundice, Heartburn, Dyspepsia, Pain in the Right Side and Shoulder, 
Blotches, Habitual Costiveness, Offensive Breath, Depression of Spirits, Oppression 
after Meals, Nervous and General Debility, Restlessness, Wasting, etc. Taken simply 
as a tonic and an appetizer, irrespective of these medicinal qualities, it will be found 
superior to any preparation of its kind, and only requires to be known to be in general 
use. The Khoosh Tonic is equally efficacious in this country for Weak Stomachs, 
Impaired Digestion, and most disorders of the liver. It acts like magic, and not only 
brings back the appetite, but restores the long-lost complexion, and, by acting directly 
on the liver, creates the bloom of health. 

It is a certain cure for Constipation. 

It is a certain cure for Dyspepsia. 

It is a certain cure for Indigestion. 

It is a never-failing appetizer. 

It induces a clear brain and an active liver. 

It makes the eyes bright, and the complexion clear. 

Its use actually cures and prevents Gout. 

It drives Rheumatism out of the body. 

IT 'IS THE ONLY LADIES' TONIC THAT WILL GIVE STRENGTH, AND THE GLOW 
OF HEALTH TO THE COMPLEXION. 

The acme of organization is a perfect palate. The Khoosh Bitters will give this exquisite sensation 
to all, and especially if a few drops are added to all liquors when taken.

IRELAND. 



Of Ireland, whose woes, and the tears wept over them, which have led one 
of her poets, transplanted to American soil, to name her the " Niobe of isles," 
there is much that is cheering, and the reverse of unfavorable, to say. Ireland 
covers an area of 32,531 square miles, which contains a population of 5,174,836 
souls, a little less, statistics say, than 160 inhabitants to the square mile. In 
1 841 the spirit of emigration was aroused, and the population decreased rapidly 
from that year' to 1871. Ten years later, in. 1881, the number registered as 
emigrants was 78,719. In the agricultural returns it is found that of the total 
area, 20,328,753 acres, the land under grass is almost exactly one-half, being 
10,110,079 acres. The number of separate holdings, in 1881, was 499,109. 
Absorbed as the inhabitants of the beautiful island have been in attempting to 
gain support in the development of her agriculture, the eyes of the world have 
not been permitted to rest, but for a moment at a time, on the products of her 
looms ; and the hopes in which she may yet have good reason to indulge, in 
regard to manufactures and commerce, have had hitherto very little encourage- 
ment. If Ireland desires advancement, and has been only waiting for oppor- 
tunity, she has it now offered her in the chance to show the world what she can 
do when permitted to present her claims beyond the reach of the magnificence 
of a realm which absorbs all her best talent and industrial skill in the compre- 
hensive phrase, — "products of the United Kingdom." Financially, Ireland 
has not so bad a showing; for, according to the " Cork Examiner" of February, 
1883, up to the end of the year 1882, there was evidence of progress in the 
deposits in joint-stock banks, in note circulation, and in the receipts of the 
savings banks, although the sum of the bank deposits does not come within a 
million and a half of the highest point touched, which was in 1876. The total 
is, however, at the present time, more than double what it was in 1859, ^ ie 
^16,000,000 of that time being now increased to ^32,000,000. It is said that 
nearly as much Irish money is engaged in Government and India stock, while 
trustee and post-office savings banks have between them something like 
,£4,000,000. Thus there is close upon ^70,000,000 of Irish money lying com- 
paratively fallow, or at very small interest. This state of things doe's not 
seem, to those who have the welfare of Ireland at heart, to be altogether satis- 
factory. The tendency to the increase of wealth has begun to show the exist- 
ence of prosperity of a certain kind, but the great disproportion which these 
investments bear to the amount of capital employed in the trade and commerce 
of the country is noted as an evidence that new outlets of a favorable character 
are needed. It is natural, therefore, that America, which provides an asylum 
for the poor and oppressed of the population, should expect a large share 
of attention from the capitalists and manufacturers who furnish the sinews of 
trade and commerce. It is hoped that the new life infused into every depart- 
ment of trade by the visit of the Commissioner to Ireland from the Foreign 
Exhibition, may result in the revival of many industries long since passed out 
of notice. There are at present in the South Kensington Museum specimens 
of lace-work, which were done by pupils of an Irish normal lace-school organ- 
ized many years ago at Dublin ; and the reproduction of these works of art, 
with many others, may be the result of the exhibition of samples of this manu- 
facture in Boston.

the town of Carlow, and is considered one of the most indefatigable and useful 
Irishmen of the day. During his parliamentary career he has ably assisted 
Mr. Parnell in forwarding the interests of their constituents ; and his efforts 
have been so far successful as a civic magistrate, as to render himself distin- 
guished as a patriot, and to gain the confidence of all with whom he has had 
relations, personal or political. For two years he has filled the position of 
Lord Mayor of the city of Dublin. 



THE COMMISSIONER AND HIS WORK. 

John Pearce, commissioner to Ireland, is a native of Cork, Ireland, and 
sprung from a family which, for centuries, has maintained an eminent position, 
and comprises many honorable and noble names ; among whom may be reck- 
oned the Earl of Dunraven in Ireland, the Marquis of Lansdowne and Earl of 
Ilchester in England. He began life in America, as an artist and a musician, 
turning to account the accomplishments of his former career; and subsequently, 
after a short time spent in the office of the New-York and New-England Rail- 
road Company, as assistant in the auditing department, set up as an accountant 
and auditor on his own account in the city of Boston. He is most prominently 
known in this city as the designer of the maps of the interior of the New-Eng- 
land Manufacturers and Mechanics' Institute Fair in 1881. In 1882, during a 
fair held by the Institute, he filled the position of acting treasurer , and having 
conceived an idea of an exhibition of Irish products, which coincided with the 
views of the secretary of the Foreign Exhibition Association, Gen. C. B. Nor- 
ton, he was made commissioner to Ireland, and proceeded in January last to 
that country. His grandfather was the bosom friend of Daniel O'Connell ; and 
by this means and others, very gratifying to the pride of the true Irishman, he 
was enabled to procure a museum of Irish relics, undeniably the finest ever 
shown in this country. In his efforts toward success he was assisted by E. D.

JOHN DOUGLAS SUTHERLAND CAMPBELL, MARQUIS OF LORNE. 



The Dominion of Canada, so near the United States geographically, so far 
from our country in its methods of government, consists of the provinces of 
Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Manitoba, British Columbia, 
Prince Edward Island, and the North-west territories. In 1867, a union was 
formed of these provinces by an Act of the Imperial Parliament known as the 
" British North America Act, 1867." By this act, the executive authority is 
vested in the Sovereign of Great Britain and Ireland, and administered in the 
name of the Queen by a Governor-General and Privy Council, and the legisla- 
tive power is exercised by a Parliament of two branches, — the Senate, and the 
House of Commons. By this act provision is made for the admission of New- 
foundland into the Dominion of Canada. The members of the Senate are nom- 
inated for life, by summons of the Governor-General under the Great Seal of 
Canada, and number yy. Senators must be 30 years of age, either native-born 
or naturalized, and the owners of property to the value of $4,000. The House 
of Commons consists of 213 members apportioned according to the Act of Con- 
federation of 1867, on the basis of 65 members to the Province of Quebec, 
who are elected for a term of five years. They are elected by constituencies 
on a property value, either real estate or personal property, the amount varying 
in the different provinces. Each member is paid $10 per day for 30 days, 
and for a longer session Sr.ooo, with 10 cents per mile for travelling expenses. 
The salary of the speaker is ^4.000. and. in case of absence for any cause but 
illness, the sum of $8 is deducted for every day's absence. Each province 
has its government, which is empowered to act according to its own judgment 
in relation to its internal affairs so long as the general policy of the central gov- 
ernment is not interfered with. The Governor-General of Canada, whose por- 
trait with that of the Princess Louise we have the pleasure of presenting, is 
the Rt. Hon. Sir John Douglas Sutherland Campbell, Marquis of Lome, K. T.. 
G. C. M. G., born Aug. 6, 1845, eldest son of the eighth Duke of Argyll. He 
received his early education at Eton, and having graduated from Trinity Col- 
lege, Cambridge, was returned to Parliament for Argyllshire in 1S68. In 1871,

he married the Princess Louise, daughter of Queen Victoria; and was appointed 
Governor-General of the Dominion of Canada and of British North America 
in 1878, with a salary of ;£ 10,000 per annum. His Council consists of a Prime 
Minister, a Minister of Railways and Canals, Minister of Finance, President of 
the Council, the Minister of justice, the Minister of Militia and Defence, the 
Minister of Marine and Fisheries, the Minister of Agriculture, the Minister 
of Public Works; the Secretary of State; the Minister of Customs; the Min- 
ister of Inland Revenue ; the Postmaster-General. Each of these officers has 
a salary of $7,000 a year, with the exception of the Prime Minister who has an 
additional thousand. The census of 1881 gives the area of the Dominion of 
Canada as 3,470,392 square miles, with a population of 4,324,810, which is 
said to have increased i8£ per cent in ten years. It contains, among other 
smaller bodies of water not so well situated, Lake Temisconata, in the centre of 
the lumber region, 30 miles long and from four to five miles in width, celebrated 
for its beautiful scenery and the fertility of its shores. . The inhabitants are 
French, descended from Norman and Breton peasants. Six large streams 
empty into the lake, each having rock bottoms suitable for the building of dams,. 
and each having one or more natural mill-ponds of sufficient size and depth to 
insure a steady and ample supply of water at all seasons. This region contains 
large quantities of copper, iron and gold, of which there has never been a thor- 
ough exploration, grand scenery for the artist, and a plenty of good fish and 
game for the sportsman. The pastimes of Canada have a peculiar interest, and 
consist in winter of skating, snow-shoe racing, and toboganning, the latter being 
most fashionable in the provinces of Quebec and Ontario. Toboganning (a 
species of coasting), performed by torchlight, is a phase of the pastime intro- 
duced by the Marquis of Lome, and entered into last winter with hearty zest 
by the Princess. 

The public debt of Canada amounted in 1881 to $199,861,537.51. In i88i T 
the revenue returns amounted in the month of November to $3,097,072, being 
an increase of $239,727 of the same month the previous year; and the receipts 
for the first five months of 1882 show $15,584,833, being $1,783,490 over the 
same period of 1881. The system of education is governed by the religious 
element, which is essentially Roman Catholic ; and the common schools are sup- 
ported partly by government, partly by local taxation, and occasionally by the 
payment for tuition. There are six schools for military instruction, two each 
for artillery in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, and one each in the prov- 
inces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Kingston, Ontario, is the seat of a 
royal military college. In 1879, the active militia was composed of 45,152 officers 
and men, and the reserve militia, 655,000 rank and file. The present trade of 
the country is principally carried on with this country and Great Britain, the 
total exports of 1881 being $98,290,823, and the total imports $105,330,840. The 
staple articles of export are breadstuff s and hewn timber and sawn wood. 
They import iron, wrought and unwrought, and woollen and cotton goods. An 
attempt has been made to raise wild rice in the swamps and other feeding- 
grounds of the province of Quebec, but some time will elapse before the result 
of the experiments can be made known. Negotiations have been for some 
time in progress looking toward establishing commercial relations between Can- 
ada and France, and between the Dominion and Cuba, and between Germany 
and Canada ; steamers to run from Bremen to Montreal in summer, and to 
Halifax in winter. The Foreign Exhibition, by bringing the products of other 
countries in such close comparison with that of Canada, will stimulate this feel- 
ing of reciprocal interchange of exports and imports. The following list of 
exhibits will give some idea of what the Canada department of the Exhibition 
will be when completed: cabinet-organs, asbestos crude and manufactured, 
sleighs and carriages, folding boats and life boats, wire and barbed-wire fencing, 
boots and shoes, safes and other fire-proof goods, roofing and other slates, 
canned lobster and salmon, sashes, mouldings and turned woodwork, patent 
blacksmith bellows, patent hangers for shafting, patent cast-iron soil-pipe, patent

PRINCESS LOUISE, MARCHIONESS OF LORNE. 



THE PRINCESS'S PICTURES. 



In the latter part of April, the Marquis of Lome visited the offices of the 
Foreign Exhibition in Boston, and inspected the building; and on the arrival 
of the Princess Louise for a very short stay in town, Capt. Nathan Appleton, 
one of the Board of Directors, directed her attention to the art department, in 
which she was pleased to express some interest. Her Royal Highness then 
promised a contribution, concerning which Capt. Bagot wrote, about the mid- 
dle of June, to Capt. Appleton, to the effect that H. R. H. the Princess Louise 
promised to serfd some of her paintings, both in oil and water-color, to the 
Boston Foreign Exhibition, as a recognition of the pleasant time she had 
in Boston last winter. The result of this interchange of courtesies is seven 
water-colors and one oil painting, a portrait of a lady. The subjects of some 
of the water-colors are : Mount Baker, Washington Territory, from Govern- 
ment House, Vancouver's Island ; A View back of the Government House, 
Vancouver's Island; View of Hamilton Harbor, Bermuda; View of Old Mis- 
sion Church, Santa Barbara, Cal. ; View of the Interior of Duchess Connaught's 
Room, Bagshot. There is also a pencil-drawing of Motley, the historian.

most widely circulated weekly newspaper in America.

tion to all who are interested in Temperance or any good cause. The Witness is emphatically

accepting no favors from any railroad or bank, monopoly or corporation of any kind, the Witness cannot

Pentecost), Home Department (a great favorite with the ladies), Cookery Department by Miss Juliet

and other light songs, as also the 
Sdrangi, Esrdr, and dancing, etc.

is supplied with two small cymbals 
which make a jingling sound when 
it is struck upon.

The Boston Traveller says: 
The Queen under its new editorial manage- 
ment is a complete record of all the movements 
and things of importance, or of transient interest, 
In the social world of to-day. The Queen in- 
cludes entertainments, movements, arrivals, social 
occurrences, the drama, music, and current litera- 
ture. During the summer, especially, it is prac- 
tically indispensable. It furnishes a complete direc- 
tory of the whereabouts of one's friends, and chron- 
icles all the things that one specially likes to know. 
We predict a brilliant future for The Queen, and 
wish it abundant success. 



The Boston Times says: 

The Queen is one of the most thorough 

and reliable society journals published in this 

country, and will spare no efforts or expense that 

will make it of constantly increasing interest. 

The Boston Home Journal says: 
The Queen has been purchased by Ernest 
F. Birmingham & Co., and appears with a new and 
neat headline, and several changes in dress, all 
for the better. The Queen, always popular, takes 
thus a new lease of life.

The Christian Intelligencer says: 
The American Queen passed into the hands 
of new managers a few months ago, and has 
.been decidedly improved in every department, and 
is steadily becoming more valuable and interesting. 
It gleans news from a wide field, and secures a large 
amount. A few illustrations, artistically drawn, 
add to its attractions. 

The ladies of our households are especially fond 
of such journals. They are the soul of our social 
life, and it is wise and kind to gratify them by sup- 
plying them with the records of events in which they 



feel a peculiar interest. It would be to many fathers 
or brothers a trifling expenditure to provide a wife 
and daughters, a mother and sisters, with one of 
these carefully conducted journals, and the gratifica- 
tion provided would be worth ten times the cost. 
Specimen copies cost little, and can be easily pro- 
cured. Do at least this for the special gratification 
of the ladies of your household: supply them with 
one or all of these weekly papers. They desire 
news of this kind. It meets a want of their lives. 
| You will be amply repaid by pleasing them in 
this.

MUTSU HITO, EMPEROR OF JAPAN. 



BRIEF SKETCH OF THE EMPIRE OF JAPAN. 



BY H. SHUGIO. 

The Empire of Japan, or Dai Nippon as we call it, is composed of four 
large islands, and ofgan innumerable number of smaller ones, lying between the 
longitude (east) 124° and 155 , and the latitude 24°2o' and 52 , with an aggre- 
gate area of about 160,000 square miles. 

Its whole length, from one end to the other, measures more than 1,225 miles r 
and its breadth varies from 73 miles to 146 miles. Nippon proper, including, 
the adjacent islands, is by far the largest of the group, having an area of 102,- 
000 square miles ; Kiushiu, including the Loo Choo islands, etc., has an area of 
1 6,000 square miles; Sikoku, 7,500 square miles; and Yesso, including the 
Kurile islands, 34,500 square miles. 

The total population of the Empire, according to the last census, taken in 
1 88 1, is 36,710,118 souls; of whom 18,598,998 are men, and 18,101,120 women. 

The whole country is traversed by irregular chains of mountains, with fertile 
plains and beautiful valleys ; and the neighboring waters are studded with pic- 
turesque islets, greatly adding to the scenic beauty of the " Empire of the Rising 
Sun." The whole country is highly volcanic, and earthquakes are not uncom- 
mon ; the hot springs are to be found in different parts of the country, which 



33$ FOREIGN EXHIBITION CATALOGUE. 

afford the people places of resorts for health and pleasure. The climate of the 
Empire is comparatively mild and salubrious, owing to the warm water of the 
Kuro Shiwo ; but. in the extreme north it is almost arctic, and in the extreme 
.south it is quite tropical. The soil is generally fertile, and is capable of pro 
ducing all kinds of cereals, vegetables, and fruits. The country is extremely 
poor in fauna, having only a few indigenous animals, but it is surpassingly rich 
In all kinds of edible fish both of fresh and salt water. The flora largely con- 
sists of evergreens, covering the face of the country throughout the year. Our 
mineral resources are not small, but they are not fully developed yet. 

The sovereign power of the Empire is vested in the hands of the Emperor, 
whose authority is nominally absolute in all state affairs. The great Council 
of State, over which the Emperor presides, is composed of a Prime Minister, 
two Vice Prime Ministers, and Councillors of State, who form the Cabinet. All 
laws are made by this great Council of State, and emanate therefrom. The 
Senate is a deliberative body whose members, unlimited in number, are ap- 
pointed by the Emperor, holding their seats during his pleasure, when the laws 
.are discussed and examined, having power to propose the adoption of the new 
laws and the amendment of those actually in force. 

The assembly of the local governors is occasionally summoned by the 
Emperor, to discuss matters directly connected with the welfare of the people. 
By the memorable imperial rescript issued on the 12th of October, 1881, our 
august Emperor has promised us to establish a parliament in 1890. 

The whole administrative machinery is worked by the following departments : 
viz., Department of Foreign Affairs, of the Interior, Finance, War, Marine, 
Justice, Public Instruction, Agriculture and Commerce, Public Works and 
Imperial Household. The Empire is divided for administrative purposes into 
three cities and forty-one prefectures. The government of the cities and pre- 
fectures is vested in the hands of a governor, who is appointed by the central 
government for an unlimited term ; and the power of discussing local finances 
is vested in an assembly of local representatives, who meet once a year to dis- 
cuss the financial matters. The members are elected by the people' by ballot. 
This assembly has also the right to give advices to the local government in 
such matters as shall affect the general welfare of the city or prefecture. 

The judicial system of Japan possesses one Supreme Court, seven Superior 
Courts, ninety Common Courts, and one hundred and eighty Parochial Courts. 
A complete code, promulgated a few years ago, has been prepared by eminent 
Japanese lawyers, with the valuable assistance of a French legal adviser, and it 
is, for the most part, based upon Code Napoleon. 

Our present army is composed of forty-eight regiments of infantry, three of 
cavalry, twenty companies of artillery, ten of engineers, seven of commissaries, 
and nine of coast artillery; representing a force of 42,660 men, including 2,337 
officers, 5,600 non-commissioned officers, 2,725 military cadets, and 1,557 at- 
tendants, besides 2,725 horses. The whole army is divkled into two kinds ; 
•viz., The Imperial Guards, of which there are 3,994 men or all arms stationed 
in our national capital, and the National Guards, which are quartered at six grand 
•stations and forty-eight sub-stations in the Empire. The soldiers are armed 
with European weapons with the latest improvements. 

Our navy is modelled after the English navy, and is composed of twenty- 
four men-of-war, having a force of 5,434 men, including 626 officers and non- 
commissioned officers. 

The system of national education, making it compulsory and universal, was 
Inaugurated in 1873, an d has had most satisfactory results in promoting the 
welfare and progress of our people. The total number of schools is 30,787, 
including two universities, 94 technical colleges, 76 normal schools, 187 high 
schools, and 28,410 common schools, besides 2,018 other schools. The public 
schools are supported by school district rates, voluntary contributions, school 
fees, government grants, interest accruing from the school funds, and other 
miscellaneous items.

The foreign trade of Japan is in its infancy, but there is every sign of a 
promising future. 

The net total of export during the year 1882 is 37,235,776 yen, and of im- 
port 29,168,040 yen. The bullion movements for the year 1882 are as follows : 
Export, 4,430,197; import, 6,160,724. 

His Imperial Majesty, the Tenno of Japan, was born on the 3d of Novem- 
ber, 1852, and will be thirty-one years of age by the 3d of November. He is 
the second son of the late Emperor Komei Tenno and of the Empress Fuji- 
wara Asako, and succeeded to the imperial throne on the" death of his father, 
Feb. 13, in the year 1867. 




HARU-KO, EMPRESS OF JAPAN. 



His Majesty married the Empress Haru-ko, on the 28th of December of 
1868. She is the third daughter of Ichijo Tadaka, noble of the first rank, and 
she is the first lady of Japan in every respect. She is attractive in her per- 
sonal appearance and manners, and is of great natural gifts. She takes great 
interest in the higher education of her own sex, and has given every encourage- 
ment to female schools. 

His Imperial Majesty in his personal appearance is rather tall, and has a 
strong constitution. He spares no pains to study the welfare of his subjects, 
and is eager to acquire knowledge. He presides in person at the Cabinet 
meetings, and attends all the public ceremonies and services where his personal 
presence is desired. He is progressive and ambitious. The past history of his 
Majesty's reign is full of most wonderful reforms and progress, and the future 
will be more so if we can judge from his past actions. The imperial family 
consists of their Majesties, one son, and two daughters.

THE COMMISSIONER AND HIS WORK. 




JOHN L. GRAVES, COMMISSIONER TO JAPAN, PERSIA, AND RUSSIA. 



John L. Graves, commissioner in chief for Japan, Persia, Turkey, Russia, 
etc., was born in Sunderland, Mass., Aug. 15, 1831, and graduated at Amherst 
College with high honors in 1855. He has travelled extensively abroad, and 
has been a student and collector of rare things from early youth. 

For many years he has been an importer of art objects from Japan and 
China, and of rare gems and precious stones from the East. Since accepting 
the position of commissioner, as above, he has devoted his whole time, energy, 
and means to the accomplishment of the object in hand, with such results as 
appear in the exhibits which he has secured.

THE TURKISH EMPIRE 



The estimated area of the Turkish Empire since the Treaty of Berlin, 
signed in 1878, is 2,396,692 square miles; and the number of population, which 
is chimerical merely, no census having been taken, is supposed to be 42,213,400. 
Turkey in Europe comprises four provinces, not including the district of Con- 
stantinople, which has a separate government of its own. Turkey in Asia 
comprises, since 1878, when two provinces were ceded to Russia, twelve prov- 
inces ; and by a treaty with Great Britain, of June 4, 1878,' the island of Cyprus 
was assigned to be occupied and administered by England. The constitution 
of the empire is formed from the precepts of the Koran, the will of the Sultan 
being subordinate to the doctrines of that religion, and in other respects abso- 
lute. 

The laws which in any degree influence the Sultan are a code called the 
Multeka, — the rulings of Mahomet and his immediate successors. The " Canon 
nameh " is a collection of decrees formed by Sultan Solyman the Magnificent, 
and his predecessors ; but they have only the significance and weight of human 
law. Two officers — the Grand Vizier (prime minister) and the Sheik-ul-Islam 
(head of the church) — execute the will of the Sultan. The Sheik-ul-Islam, as 
well as the Grand Vizier, is appointed by the Sovereign, with the concurrence 
(merely nominal) of the body composed of learned scientific men and jurists, 
called the Ulema, over which the Sheik presides ; and attached to this body are 
the Mufti, the interpreters of the Koran. The heads of the civic government 
bear the title of Bey or Effendi. The Grand Vizier, representing the Sove- 
reign, presides over the Medjliss-i-Hass, — a sort of cabinet consisting of nine 
members, the average term of service being not more than four months. All 
persons, of high or low degree, are eligible to the highest offices in the state. 
Birth confers no privilege, as all true believers are equal in the eye of the la*w. 

Abdul-Hamud II., Sultan of Turkey, thirty-fifth in male descent from Oth- 
man, founder of the empire, and twenty-eighth Sultan since the conquest of Con- 
stantinople, was born Sept. 22, 1842 (15 Shaban 1245), th e second son of 
Sultan Abdul Medjid; and ascended the throne on the deposition of his elder 
brother, Murad V., Aug. 31, 1876. 

The children of the Sultan are: Mehemmed-Selim Effendi. born 1870; 
Zekie Sultana, born 1871 ; Naime Sultana, born 1876; Abdul-Kadir Effendi, 
born 1878; Ahmed Effendi, born 1878. 

There are no reliable statistics upon which to base the value of the foreign 
commerce of the empire, which is carried on principally with Great Britain, 
Italy, Austria, and Greece. The total estimated annual value of the imports 
is given as ^23,000,000 sterling, Constantinople receiving about ^10,000.000 ; 
and the total exports as ^20,000,000, Constantinople exporting products to the 
value of ,£7,300,000. The exports consist mainly of grain, wool, goat's-hair,

valonia, opium, and raisins. The most important articles of import are manu- 
factured cotton, cotton yarn, woollens, and iron wrought and unwrought. The 
total tonnage of the mercantile navy was estimated, in 1880, at 181,500 tons. 
The number of lines of railway in the empire, in 1882, was 1,076. The line 
known as the Ottoman railway, running from Smyrna to Aidin in Asia Minor, 
145 miles in length, was built by an English company, the expense being guar- 
anteed by Turkey. The commerce of Egypt, a dependency of Turkey, con- 
sists principally of goods transported through the country to Great Britain, 
France, Austria, Italy, and Russia; the imports in 1881 amounting to ,£7,115,- 
000, and the exports to ^13,315,000. Large shipments of raw cotton are made 
to Great Britain, which constitute the most important part of the export trade 
to that country, the opening of the Suez Canal materially interfering with the 
transit trade from India and other parts of Asia through Egypt. Corn, flour, 
beans, barley, and maize are exported, and the imports are principally cotton 
goods. Bulgaria, another tributary state, exports wool, tallow, butter, cheese, 
hides, flax, and timber. 1,500,000 tons of corn are annually exported, and tex- 
tile manufactures — iron and coals — are imported. The raising of sheep is 
largely carried on, wool being exported chiefly to Austria, and the finer quali- 
ties to France ; and on the borders of the Black Sea deposits of coal have been 
discovered, but not yet developed. One line of railway 140 miles in length, 
constructed by private parties but charged to the government, crosses the coun- 
try from Rustchuk to the port of Varna on the Black Sea. 

Eastern Roumelia, which was created by the Treaty of Berlin, has at 
present very little trade; the population in official returns of 1880, estimated at 
815,513, attending principally to agriculture.

THE COMMISSIONER AND HIS WORK. 




DEMOSTHENES T. TIMAYENIS, ACTING COMMISSIONER OF TURKEY. 



Demosthenes T. Timayenis, acting commissioner of Turkey, son of Pro- 
fessor Thomas Timayenis, and Ph. Rodocanachi, sister of J. M. Rodocanachi, 
consul of Greece in Boston, was born in Smyrna, Asia Minor, in July, 1856. 
He graduated at the age of nineteen from the Greek Evangelical College, and 
subsequently entered Mr. Barkshire's school for the study of French, English, 
and German. 

He came to this country in 1876, and entered French's Business College, 
and afterward the office of Mr. J. M. Rodocanachi, of the Cunard Line, and 
also of Messrs. Linder's & Meyer's, in order to get the necessary business ex- 
perience. 

After staying a short time at each of these offices, he returned to Smyrna, 
and, having made the necessary arrangement, came back to this country, and 
established himself in business on his own account, as importer of oriental rugs 
and carpets. 

The Turkish department at the Foreign Exhibition is in his charge ; and he 
has succeeded in making one of the finest displays of oriental rugs, embroider- 
ies, and other Turkish products, ever offered to the public of the United States.

AUSTRIA- HUNGARY. 




FRANZ JOSEF I., EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA AND KING OF HUNGARY. 



The Austro-Hungarian Government is composed, as its name implies, of 
two nations, one officially designated Austria, the other Hungary, each gov- 
erned by its own parliament, ministers, and government, but with one sove- 
reign, the ruler of both nations, and an army and navy recruited from both 
countries, with a diplomatic corps representing each in the Delegations, which 
consists of one hundred and twenty members, chosen in equal numbers from 
Austria and Hungary ; twenty from each Upper House, and forty from each 
Lower House of Delegates. The " Delegations " are composed of two 
Chambers, one being formed of sixty deputies representing Austria, and the 
other of the same number from Hungary. 

Austria has an area of 115,903 square miles, and a population of 22,144,244. 
Hungary has an area of 125,039 square miles, and a population of 15,642,002. 
The constitution of Austria is of comparatively recent adoption, originating 
in an " Imperial Diploma" in i860, followed by a " Patent " in 1861; but that 
of the eastern portion of Hungary dates from the foundation of the kingdom, 
about 895, and was forfeited by the rebellion of the nation in 1849. ^ n I ^6o 



3&0 FOREIGN EXHIBITION CATALOGUE. 

the decree which declared it forfeited was repealed; and in 1867 the present 
sovereign took the oath to maintain the constitution, and was crowned King 
of Hungary. 

Franz Josef I., Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary, son of Arch- 
duke Franz Karl and of Archduchess Sophie, Princess of Bavaria, was born 
Aug. 18, 1830. He is the nephew of Ferdinand I.; and in 1848, after the 
abdication of his uncle and the renunciation of the crown by his father,* he 
was proclaimed Emperor of Austria. In 1854 he married Elizabeth, daughter 
of Duke Maximilian, in Bavaria, born in 1837; and in 1867 he was crowned 
King of Hungary. The children of this marriage are : Archduchess Gisela, 
born July 12, 1856, married April 20, 1873, to Prince Leopold, second son of 
Prince Luitpold, of Bavaria, born Feb. 9, 1846; Archduke Rudolf, heir-ap- 
parent, general in the service of Austria, born Aug. 2T, 1858, married May 
10, 1881, to Princess Stephanie, second daughter of King Leopold II., of 
Belgium, born May 21, 1864; and Archduchess Maria Valeria, born April 
22, 1868. 

The greater part of the commerce of the Austrian empire is carried on 
with Germany, although importations averaging ,£4,000,000 in value have 
been received from Roumania, and the exports to that country have amounted 
to ,£5,000,000 sterling; but the statistics for these countries are not considered 
perfectly correct, owing to the relative positions of the empire and the 
neighboring countries across which its products have to be transported, and 
to which they are often accredited as exports or imports. From the cities of 
the seaboard the amount of direct exports and imports may be arrived at, and 
since 1875 these exports are said to have remained nearly stationary, while 
the imports have declined. The exports comprise corn, barley, wheat, and 
wheat-flour. The principal imports are cotton manufactures and iron, oil- 
seed, coals, and woollen goods. In 1882 the total length of railways in the 
empire, open for traffic, was 11.480 English miles. There are 8.406 vessels 
in the merchant marine. In 1883 a company was established at Trieste called' 
the " Gesellschaft des Oesterreichisch-Ungarischen Lloyd," which in 1879 
owned sixty-nine steamers of 56,138 tons. It is subsidized by the government 
at the rate of 1,730,000 florins, and controls a large part of the Austrian trade 
with the East by way of the Suez Canal. Following the advent of Mr.- Com- 
missioner Haas, a number of merchants became exhibiters at the Boston 
Foreign Exhibition, and in July subscribed a very handsome sum for the 
general Austrian installation, and appointed two agents to go to Boston for 
this purpose. Mr. Franz Wilheim, a merchant, President of the Austrian- 
Hungarian Export Verein at Vienna, in whose hands the entire charge of the 
Austrian collection was placed, became interested, early in June, in the matter, 
and generously assisted the commissioner in the discharge of his duties. 
The press of Vienna, like that of all large cities where art and industry occupy 
the attention of a large portion of the "inhabitants, lent their valuable aid to 
call the attention of the public to one more venture in addition to the 
exhibitions at Calcutta, Amsterdam, Nice, and Munich, which were in com- 
petition with it and under the auspices of the government. Notwithstanding 
the tariff rates and other drawbacks, including the brief time allowed for the 
preparation of exhibits, a very complete collection of Austrian art and in- 
dustry, including the most beautiful paintings and wonderful articles in 
embroidered goods, has been forwarded to Boston.

vs. *&**** 



OSCAR II., KING OF SWEDEN AND NORWAY. 



The kingdom of Sweden, covering an area of 170,979 square miles, has 
the distinction of being one of the first countries of Europe, in which sta- 
tistics in relation to the number of population were obtained. At first, it was 
considered necessary to take the census every third year : but after a short 
experience, the interval was prolonged to five years, and subsequently to ten 
years, with local numerations taken annually, by which means a table is fur- 
nished, showing the births, deaths, and marriages, and the surplus of births 
over deaths. In December, 1881, the population was estimated at 4,565,668. 
The statute laws of the kingdom which formed the basis of the Regerings- 
Formen, or constitution, were amended in important particulars in 1810 and 
1812, and in 1866. The will of the sovereign is not all supreme, although the 
king has absolute veto power, and every new law must have the assent of the 
crown. A Diet, consisting of two chambers, both elected by the people, 
exercises legislative functions in concurrence with the sovereign, but the right 
of imposing taxes is exclusively vested in the Diet. The First Chamber 
consists of 131 members; one deputy for every 30,000 of the population. The

members are elected by the Landstings, or electoral commissions, composed 
of 25 representatives and the municipal governments of Stockholm, Goteborg, 
Malmo, and Norrkoping. Members of the First Chamber must be over 35 
years of age, and a property qualification is required. Their services are unre- 
warded, and the term is nine years. The Second Chamber consists of 204 
members, 64 of whom are elected by the towns, and the rest by the rural 
districts, the quota being one for every 10,000 inhabitants of towns, and one 
for every district of 40,000 inhabitants, and two for every rural district 
containing more than that number of population. The qualifications for 
voting are : to be a native of Sweden, to possess real property to the taxed 
value of ^56, or farming for a period of not less than five years landed 
property to the taxed value of ^333, or paying income-tax on an annual 
income of £45. Native-born citizens of 25 years of age, having possessed 
these qualifications for twelve months previous to election, are eligible to 
election for the Second Chamber. The members of this branch of the govern- 
ment hold their seats three years, and are paid from the public treasury at 
the rate of £67 for each session of four months, besides travelling expenses. 
The advisers of the king are called the Council of State, which consists of ten 
members, seven of them heads of departments, and they are responsible for 
the acts of the government. Two officers, Justitie-Kansler, or Chancellor of 
Justice, and the Justitie Ambudsman, or Attorney General, administer the 
government ; the former controls the courts of law, and the administration of 
justice. 

Oscar II., king of Sweden, is grandson of Marshal Bernadotte, and brother 
of Carl XV., who succeeded to the crown of Oscar, son of Carl XIV.,' 
Johan. He was elected heir-apparent of the crown of Sweden, by the parlia-

ment of the kingdom, Aug. 21, 1810. Carl XV. was a poet of great promise, 
who died young. The king, Oscar II., was born Jan. 21, 1829, third son of 
King Oscar I. and of Queen Josephine, and grandson of Prince Eugene 
of Leuchtenberg. He married in 1857, Sophia, daughter of the late Duke 
Wilhelm of Nassau, born July 9, 1836: and succeeded to the throne at the 
death of his brother King Carl XV., Sept. 18, 1S72. The children of the 
kin<j are: Prince Gustaf, Duke of Wermland. born June 16, 1858; married in 
i83i to Princess Victoria, born Aug. 7, 1862, daughter of the Grand Duke of 
Baden. Prince Oscar, Duke of Gotland, born Nov. 15, 1859. Prince Carl, 
Duke of Westergotland, born Feb. 27, 1861. Prince Eugene, Duke of Nerike, 
born Aug. 1, 1865. 

The trade of Sweden is principally with Great Britain, France, and Den- 
mark, but it has considerable commercial intercourse with Germany, Russia, 
Norway, and our own country. Its importations consist of textile manufac- 
tures, iron wrought and unwrought, and coal. The exportations are bar-iron, 
butter, live animals, wood and timber including house-frames, and corn. A 
large increase in the latter is noticeable within the past ten years. 

In 1880, the commercial navy of Sweden numbered 4,385 vessels of 560,- 
693 tons ; of this number, 772 vessels of S6.598 tons were steamers. Gote- 
borg is the largest shipping port. The working of the coal and iron mines is 
an important industry, and calls for the constant use of machinery. In 1878, 
15,821.520 cwt. of iron ore was mined in addition to 115,585 cwt. from lake 
and bog. In the same year there were produced 2,983 lbs. of silver, 25,565 
cwt. of copper, and 94.7,635 cwt. of zinc ore. In 1S78, the coal-mines in the 
southern portion of the country yielded 4,429,889 cubic feet of coal. Railway 
lines connect the capitals of the two countries. In 1881, the extent of the 
railway lines belonging to the kingdom was 1,365 English miles; the whole 
number being 3,830 English miles. 

By the provisions of the treaty of Kiel, Jan. 14, 1814, Norway was ceded to 
the king of Sweden by the king of Denmark, without the consent of its 
people, who declared themselves independent, and, convening their representa- 
tives at Eidsvold, adopted a constitution, and elected the Danish Prince 
Christian Frederik, King of Norway; but before the new king could ascend 
the throne, the two countries were united by the convention of Moss, with 
separate governments, constitutions, and code of laws, and a Council of 
State composed of representatives of both countries. In case there is no 
direct successor to the throne, a sovereign may be elected by the choice of 
both Diets in convention assembled. 



THE COMMISSIONER AND HIS WORK. 

Gerhard Gade, United-States consul at Christiania, Norway, and commis- 
sioner from the Foreign Exhibition Association to Sweden, Norway, and Den- 
mark, is a native of Norway, and has represented the United States since June 
25, 1S69. He was commissioner to the Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia 
in 1876, and is distinguished for the zeal with which he has prosecuted projects 
of a world-wide significance, affecting his native land. In the latest venture, 
that of the Boston Foreign Exhibition, he became at once desirous that the 
countries to which he was commissioned by the association should make a dis- 
play, alike creditable to the country and to' the promoters of the scheme with 
whom he very willingly identified himself. On the reception of the news, early 
in April, he set the matter in a correct light before manufacturers and others, 
through the " Margenblad " of Christiania, and other newspapers, publishing

contributions from his pen ; and visited Stockholm, Copenhagen, and other cities, 
in person, in each of which he secured the co-operation of the press, and 
renewed the interest of former exhibiters in international fairs. The duties, 
especially on paintings, which are considered too heavy, and a market hardly to 
be obtained, and the fact that a large Scandinavian art-exhibition was to take 
place in Copenhagen in the summer, materially interfered with sending artists' 
work early in the season ; but efforts were made to induce them to forward 
pictures later, and manufacturers of terra-cotta, porcelain, and other wares, and 
mechanics' associations, were interviewed to good effect. Arrangements were 
made with Mr. E. L. Wilson of Boston, for some time connected with the Bell 
Telephone Company, to act as agent in Boston for Scandinavian exhibits ; and 
Mr. Axel Kummeleher, a special agent, was also sent out from Copenhagen, who 
made friends of ail with whom he came in contact socially and in the way of 
business, and his sudden death has been much lamented. He was present at 
the opening, and saw his collection tastefully arranged 'among the most con- 
spicuous exhibits.

NORWAY. 



'he kingdom of Norway has a total area of 122,869 English miles, and is 
divided into twenty provinces, or amts, with a total population, in 1880, of 
1,925,000; the larger portion of which reside in agricultural districts, although 
Christiania has a population of 122.036, and the enumeration in Bergen 
amounted to 40,100 in 1879. The emigration to this country increased from 
12,276 in 1871, to 20,212 in 1880. The constitution of Norway is of more 
recent date than that of Sweden, and was framed in 18 14, vesting by its pro- 
visions the whole legislative power of the realm in the Storthing, or Great 
Court, which is to represent the sovereign people. It is called the Grundlov; 
and the King is allowed to command the forces of land and sea, but has lim- 
ited authority in matters of appointments and the veto power. He may not 
appoint other than Norwegians to public office under the crown ; and, after a 
measure passed by the Storthing has been twice vetoed by the King, that body 
may pass it to be enacted without his consent. The constitution approaches 
nearest to being an expression of the will of the people, and is more arbitrary 
in its peculiar powers, than any other monarchy on the Continent of Europe. 
Since 1869 the Storthing has held annual sittings, and meets independently of 
any call of the Sovereign or his advisers. The franchise is granted, on a prop- 
erty qualification, to a citizen of twenty-five years of age ; and, to be eligible for 
election, he must have been a resident of Norway at least ten years. Deputies 
are elected triennially by the people, at the rate of one to fifty voters in towns, 
and one to a hundred in the rural districts ; and these deputies, meeting in 
convention, elect the representatives to the Storthing. If vacancies occur 
they are filled without an election, the person having received the next largest 
number of votes being entitled to the office. The Storthing, which is another 
name for Congress, ij composed of two branches, — the Lagthing and the 
Odelsthing, — each having its own president, vice-president, and secretaries, 
but the Lagthing having one-fourth the number of members. All bills origi- 
nate in the Odelsthing; but, should the Lagsthing refuse to pass a bill twice 
passed by the Odelsthing, the decisive action is obtained by a two-thirds vote 
in a convention of the two branches. The Storthing makes laws, including 
those regulating taxation, and can impeach and try ministers and judges of the 
supreme court. A strict surveillance is kept on the accounts of the public 
treasury; and at the close of the terms for which the members were elected, 
they are revised by five delegates chosen for the purpose previous to dissolu- 
tion. The pay of the members is thirteen shillings and fourpence a day, and 
travelling expenses. The King, who seems to be a sort of royal governor, 
has a cabinet called a Council of State, composed of two ministers of state 
and nine councillors. Commercial statistics of Norway show, that, in propor- 
tion to the population, that country has the largest commercial navy in the 
world, the shipping amounting, in 1880, to 8,095 vessels, of 1,518,658 tons, 
manned by 60,832 sailors. The exports consist of lumber, fish, ice, bar-iron, 
and copper-ore; and the imports, of iron wrought and un wrought, and cotton 
and woollen goods. In 1882, the total number of railway lines under con- 
struction was 212; open to traffic, 759.

DENMARK 




CHRISTIAN IX., KING OF DENMARK.. 



The kingdom of Denmark, embracing the islands in the Baltic Sea and the 
peninsula of Jutland, has an area of 13,784 square miles, and a population of 
1,969,039. The government is administered by the king and his cabinet, and a 
law-making body called the Rigsdag, or Diet, composed of the Landsthing, 66 
members, and the Folkething, 102 members, corresponding to our Senate and 
House of Representatives. Twelve of the Landsthing are nominated for life 
by the crown, and the rest are chosen through electoral commissions by the 
people for a term of eight years. Citizens are eligible who reside in the dis- 
trict, and have reached their twenty-fifth birthday. The members of the Folke- 
thing are elected for three years, and must be at least twenty-five years of age. 
The time of the opening of the Rigsdag is the first Monday of October. The 
king is president of a state council of six members. Iceland, a dependency of

LOUISE, QUEEN OF DENMARK. 



Denmark, has a constitutional government dating back to 1874. By the terms 
of the constitution, the laws are made by an executive body called the Althing, 
composed of 36 members, six appointed by the king, and 30 elected by the 
people : and a special minister is appointed by the king, and made responsible 
to the Althing, who is at the head of the administration. There are three 
magistrates, called Amtmands, who govern the western, the northern, and 
eastern districts : while the supreme local authority is vested in a governor, 
called the Stiftamtmand. Besides this dependency, Denmark has other pos- 
sessions in widely separated portions of the world, — the Faroe Islands, Green- 
land, and the West Indies, — containing a population of 54,984. 

Christian IX., the reigning king, was born April 8, 181 8, the fourth son 
of the late Duke Wilhelm of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Gliicksburg and 
of Princess Louise of Hesse-Cassel. In 1842, he married Louise, daughter of 
Landgrave Wilhelm of Hesse-Cassel, born Sept. 7, 181 7. According to the pro- 
visions of the Treaty of London of May 8, and also by the Danish law of 
succession of July 31, 1853, he was appointed to the succession of the crown 
of Denmark : and on the death of King Frederick VI L, he was crowned King 
of Denmark in 1863. Among the names of the children of the king, are several 
familiar to Americans. Offspring of the union are : Prince Frederick, heir 
apparent, born June 3. 1843 ; married July 28, 1869. to Princess Louisa, daugh- 
ter of King Carl XV. of Sweden and Norwav. Princess Alexandra, born Dec.

i, 1844; married March 10, 1863, to Albert Edward, Prince of Wales. Prince 
Wilhelm, born Dec. 24, 1845; admiral in the Danish navy; in 1863, elected 
King of the Hellenes, under the title of Georgios I., by the Greek National 
Assembly; married in 1867, to Olga Constantinovna, Grand Duchess of 
Russia ; Princess Maria Dagmar (Empress Maria-Feodorovna), born Nov. 26, 
1847; married Nov. 9, 1866, to Alexander III., Emperor of Russia. Princess 
Thyra, born Sept. 29, 1853; married Dec. 21, 1878, to Prince Ernest August, 
Duke of Cumberland. Prince Waldemar, born Oct. 27, 1858. About one-third 
of the population is engaged exclusively in agriculture ; and the danger of the 
concentration of land and capital in the hands of a few, which menaces many 
countries, is averted by a law which forbids the union of small farms into large 
estates, but encourages the division of land. Emigration from Denmark to 
this country has increased from 3,906 persons in 1871, to 7,985 in 1881. The 
trade of the kingdom, the larger portion of which is carried on with Germany 
and Great Britain, consists mainly of the exportation of agricultural produce, 
butter, corn, flour, and live animals, and the importation of cotton manufactures, 
coals, and iron wrought and unwrought; the value of the cotton manufactures 
amounting, in the year 1881, to ,£399,918, and of the iron to ,£207,022. The 
commercial fleet, consisting principally of vessels under 300 tons burthen, num- 
bers 3,218 vessels, including 202 steamers of 51,984 tons. An increase in the 
number of vessels propelled by steam is noticed, and a decrease in sail vessels. 
The total length of the railways open to traffic in the kingdom is 980 English 
miles, 775 of which run through the islands of Falster and Lolland, with a 
terminus at the port of Nakskow, connecting with an English steamer ; and a 
line through the middle and western part of Jutland, running as far as the 
German frontier. The exportation of raw sugar and rum from the West Indies 
is of considerable importance, amounting annually to from twelve to sixteen 
million pounds of raw sugar, and one million gallons of rum.

Protection to American Industry. 



A large number of the readers of The New-York Tribune 
have written to express their thanks for securing the valuable 
letters of Mr. Porter, showing the effects of British free trade 
upon the masses of the English people. A word to these 
friends. Apparently, the only issue the Democracy can raise 
in 1884 is that of free trade. They may not dare to, but 
Watterson says that "it is the only bit of patrimony they have 
left." Should the next Presidential campaign be fought on that 
issue, it will be a tremendous struggle. One thing is clear: — 

The educational process ought to be carried forward by the 
friends of American industry with vigor until November, 1884. 
The free-trade theory is plausible, and the enemies of American 
industry are rich, reckless, and active. Free trade is taught in 
many of the colleges and universities, and it is advocated by 
various Republican papers which mistake the true sentiment of 
the Republican party on this especial point. A large number of 
organizations have been formed to propagate free-trade doctrines, 
and they are receiving the hearty support of every manufacturer 
in England. The Tribune is the only American paper, conti- 
nental in its circulation and influence, which persistently and 
vigorously maintains the American doctrine of protection to home 
industry against British free trade ; and the New-York Associa- 
tion for the Protection of Industry, of which Gen. Grant is a 
director, have publicly indorsed the Tribune on this account. 

The Daily Tribune, including the Sunday edition, is #12 
per year, $3 for three months. Without the Sunday edition, 
$10 per year; $2.50 for three months; $1 for one month. The 
Sunday edition alone is $2 per year.

SPAIN 




ALFONSO XII., KING OF SPAIN. 



A foreign exhibition which did not include Spain would be like a dinner 
without wine, or minus the sparkle of ladies' e)-es. If it is the land of conflict, 
it is also the land of warm feelings and proud hearts and firm friendships. As 
a nation it still has ambitious hopes. Spain virtually represents three nations. 
The Basque Provinces are like our New England, — hilly, with fertile valleys ; 
and they furnish two-thirds of the sailors of the French navy. The inhabitants 
claim to be the oldest race in Europe, and antedate the Moors and Romans. 
Andalusia lies in the central portion, on a high plateau 1,100 feet above the 
sea. It is desolate and wind-swept ; and its people are careless of the future, 
and fond of leisure. The inhabitants of Catalonia, who call themselves "the 
Catalons," claim to be a republic of themselves ; and they are the most trouble- 
some to the government, of any race in the country. That portion of the 
kingdom is, however, the centre of the manufacturing interests, and it is called

the Birmingham of Spain. All the fabrics manufactured in the country are 
made there. No stock is raised except for the purposes of the ring, and goats 
furnish all the milk that is drank. All the butter that is known there is im- 
ported from America. The inhabitants subsist principally on fish, vegetables, 
and mutton. The best sherry is made in Xeres, by Gonzalez, Byass, & Co. It 
is kept in casks ; and in 1881 this firm had on hand 31,000 pipes, holding about 
120 gallons each, and 12,000 at the London docks. 

Foreign capital, largely from England, is being worked in Spain to develop 
lead and coal mines, which are very valuable, and setting up refineries for the 
manufacture of olive-oil, the inhabitants being ignorant of the best methods. 
Iron-ore is shipped in immense quantities to Baltimore from Almeria, and the 
mines are rich in lead, iron, and quicksilver, all of which are worked by the 
English. Linares is the most important lead-producing district, and contains 
805 mines, yielding 70,000 tons of lead annually. A lower price in recent times 
has, it is said, reduced the production. Eight of the mines are operated by 
Englishmen, and one-sixth of "the yield is exported to England. The value 
of the English mining interests in Linares was given in 1881 as ,£560,000. 
England provides engineers, foremen, and machinery. The city of Linares 
has increased in population in the past few years, and now contains 45,000 
inhabitants. 

Alfonso XII., the reigning King of Spain, whose portrait adorns the present 
number, was born Nov" 28, 1857; son of Queen Isabel, eldest daughter of 
King Fernando VII., who was exiled in 1868, and abdicated in favor of her 
son in 1870. His father was the Infante Francisco. Having been proclaimed 
King of Spain at Madrid, in 1874, Alfonso XII. began his reign in 1875. an d in

1878 was married to the youthful princess Marie-de-las-Mercedes, the youngest 
daughter of the Due de Montpensier. After only five months' union the prin- 
cess died, and in the following year he married the Archduchess Marie Christina 
of Austria. Their infant daughters, of three years and one year respectively, 
are the Princesses Marie-de-las-Mercedes, and Maria Teresa. The principal 
article of export is wine, the value of that product exported to the United 
Kingdom in 1881 being £1, 339,973, nearly two-fifths of the total value of the 
wine imports into the United Kingdom in 1873, which amounted to ,£8,267,326 
in that year, and to ,£5,651,107 in iSSr . Other articles of export are fruit, lead, 
pyrites of iron and copper, copper both ore and regulus, live stock, fruit, 
oranges, raisins, and nuts ; from Cuba and Porto Rico and the Philippines, un- 
refined sugar, tobacco, cigars, and hemp. The importations consist of yarns 
and linens, iron wrought and unwrought, coals, and cotton goods. In regard to 
the means of transportation, the railways are all owned by private corporations 
which have received large concessions from the government. During the reign 
of Alfonso, 2,000 miles of new railway-lines have been opened, and 3,000 more 
were in process of construction in 1882. The state telegraph-lines in 1880 
were 10,070 miles in length. The port regulations cause great inconvenience, 
not only to foreign vessels, but between the ports lying on the coast. Baggage 
has to be examined on the passage between ports, and no one. is allowed to 
land after sundown. The merchant navy consisted, in 1881, of 2,236 vessels, of 
a total burthen of 560,125 tons, an increase in the tonnage since 1868 of 192,- 
355 tons. The recent revolt of the garrison, joined to the discontented peas- 
antry, who, since the revolution of i£68, have become intensely socialistic, calls 
to mind the lines of Byron in " Childe Harold : " — 

" Such be the sons of Spain, and strange her faith ! 
They fight for freedom who are never free ; 

Fond of a land which gave them nought but life, 
Pride points the path that leads to liberty ; 
Back to the struggle, baffled in the strife, 
War, war is still the cry, war even to the knife ! " 



THE COMMISSIONER AND HIS WORK. 

Mr. George Oyarzabal, Commissioner to Spain and Portugal, is a near 
relative of the late J. G. Loring, of this city, who went to Malaga when a boy, 
and whose father, Benjamin Loring, once carried on the business now con- 
ducted by Hooper, Lewis, & Co., stationers, of this city. Messrs. George and 
Edward Loring, the latter the manager of a railroad in Spain, are of the same 
family. Mr. Oyarzabal, a native of Malaga, was educated in Germany and 
in other parts of Europe, and is master of several languages. Soon after the 
war of the Rebellion he came to Boston ; and on the return of Mr. J. G. Loring 
from Spain, he entered his employ, and remained with him until the death of 
Mr. Loring, about seven years ago. After settling Mr. Loring's affairs, he went 
to Philadelphia, and for a year or two was employed by Peter Wright & Sons, 
in charge of a department, subsequently filling the position of their agent in 
Baltimore. At the close of his business relations with the Philadelphia firm, 
he was engaged by a London banking house, to represent them at Manila, and 
at once proceeded there; but. notwithstanding he was born in that climate, his 
constitution was not proof against disease, and he was forced to change his 
residence to Malaga, where he has resided for the past few years, and until he 
was induced to present the aims and objects of the Foreign Exhibition of Bos- 
ton to the artists, manufacturers, and merchants of Spain and Portugal. Since 
the 6th of March, when he received his papers as commissioner, Mr. Oyarzabal

GEORGE OYARZABAL, COMMISSIONER TO SPAIN AND PORTUGAL. 



has devoted his entire time and energies to the collection of an exhibit which 
should furnish something like a just representation of the state of art and in- 
dustry in those countries to which he was appointed. The newspapers of Spain 
and Portugal, like those in all the thickly populated regions of the civilized 
globe, favored the project, and have printed notices of the exhibition, adding 
favorable comments. The Diario do Goveruo of Portugal, the Co?nmercio de 
Portugal, and the Noticias, have taken great interest in the project, and have 
given space for the introduction of whatever suggestions might be made by the 
commissioner for facilitating the transportation of exhibits ; although, in the ex- 
hibitions which are to be held in those countries this year, no applications for 
space have been made from United-States exhibiters. The commissioner also 
succeeded in awakening sufficient interest in Portugal to induce the owners of 
all objects of manufacture, industry, and art, to send over exhibits. On this sub- 
ject the minister of war, Martinez Campas, was pleased to say that he would 
send from the national factory at Toledo an exhibit of Toledo blades. At a 
meeting held in Barcelona, great enthusiasm was manifested in favor of the 
Boston exhibition, and a petition was signed by all the exporters of art, industry, 
and commerce of Spain, requesting the minister of public works to grant a sub- 
sidy to defray the freight expenses of the exhibiters. Among exhibits en route 
from Spain, are wines, dried fruits, clay statuettes representing Spanish types, 
oil-paintings, palm-leaf hats, soap, shoes, hemp, cigarettes, boots and shoes, and 
playing-cards. One of the finest pieces of sculpture, from the chisel of the 
Spanish sculptor Vallmitjana, is on the way. " He is to sculpture," says Mr. 
Oyarzabal, "what Prodilla is to painting." There is an exhibit of sherry wine 
from Ernesto da Silva, of Lisbon, of His Majesty Don Fernando's household ; 
also wines from Gonzalez, Byass, & Co., the largest wine-merchants of Oporto, 
and he also exhibits Spanish saffron, the bud and the bloom, and the saffron 
ready for market. The wine-casks come handsomely painted with the coat- 
of-arms of Spain.

FRANCIS FALKNER'S 
OLD IRISH WHISKE1 

First made in Dublin, A.D. 1780. 



T 



EUROPEAN DEPOTS: 

36 DAWSON STREET. DUBLIN. 83 GRAFTON STREET. 

LONDON BRANCH: 40 CHARING CROSS. 



THIS Fine Old Spirit, famous in Ireland for the last century, will prove an agreeable surprise to those 
who are only familiar with the Irish Whiskey usually shipped to the Colonies and America. 

Its refined flavor is imparted by age only, 

and it possesses in the highest degree all the characteristics of the finest spirit. 

It is distilled by the most approved method, from the best materials only; and, being matured in bond 
for many years, all the unpleasant flavor and unwholesome properties are eliminated by the process of 
time; while in the case of much of the imitation whiskey now exported, the imperfections of new- 
spirit are attempted to be disguised by the add.tion of flavoring ingredients. Such an article, however 
palatable, must be injurious to health. 

REAL IRISH WHISKEY, such as FALKNER'S is guaranteed to be, when partaken 
of in moderation, produces exhilaration, followed by no unpleasant consequences, — no 
injury to digestion, discomfort, or headache. 

Taken at meals, diluted with cold water; as punch, with hot water: or with aerated waters of all 
kinds, — it forms a valuable aid to digestion. It is constantly recommended by the Medical Profession 
as the most wholesome and acceptable cf all alcoholic stimulants, — before the best of brandy. 

The genuineness of this famous FALKNER WHISKEY is guaranteed by each bottle being cap- 
suled, and each cork branded Francis Falkner. 

FRANCIS FALKNER is Purveyor of Whiskey and Wine to the Austrian Court; has taken gold 
medal for his Whiskey at the New Zealand Exhibition; first prize at the late Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883; 
is Purveyor to the Calcutta Exhibition, at present in course; and has the honor of supplying the follow- 
ing Naval and Military Messes and Clubs in the United Kingdom and the Colonies; viz., —

PORTUGAL 




LUIS I., KING OF PORTUGAL, 



Portugal comprises six provinces with a total area of 36,510 English square 
miles, and a population of 4.160,315: and, in addition to this, the Azores, or 
Western Islands, containing an area of 966 square miles, with a population of 
259,800 inhabitants, and Madeira and Porto Santo, with 317 square miles, and 
a population of 130,584. In 1878 it contained two cities whose population 
numbered over 50,000: these were, Oporto, with 105,838; and Lisbon, with 
246,343 inhabitants. The colonies situated in Africa and Asia embrace a total 
area of 709,469 English square miles, with a population of 3,306.247. The 
Cape Verde Islands are the most important possessions of Portugal, and con> 
prise nine principal or inhabited islands. These islands provide coaling stations 
for vessels on the way to Brazil and the west coast of South America. Slavery 
was abolished in the Portuguese colonies on the 29th of April, 1879, by a law 
passed by the Cortes Geraes of Portugal, in 1858. 

We present a portrait of the reigning king, Luis L, born Oct. 31, 1 838, the 
son of Queen Maria II. and of Prince Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg. He suc- 
ceeded his brother, King Pedro V., Nov. II, 1861 ; and was married Oct. 6, 



4 

424 FOREIGN EXHIBITION CATALOGUE. 

1862, to the Princess Pia, born Oct 16, 1847, the youngest daughter of King 
' Vittorio Emanuele of Italy. The children of this marriage are Prince Carlos, 
Duke of Braganza, born Sept. 28, 1863; an d Prince Alfonso, Duke of Oporto r 
born July 31, 1865. Luis I. is the second sovereign of Portugal of the line of 
Braganza-Coburg. He has a civil list of 365,000 milreis, or about ,£82,000. 
Queen Pia has a grant of 60,000 milreis, or ,£13,300; and Prince Ferdinand, 
the king's father, 100,000 milreis, or ,£22,200; the total number of grants to 
liie royal family summing up ^£126,888. King Luis L has the distinction of 
being the first European monarch who has subscribed to a public telephone- 
exchange. He has had his town residence, Ajuda Palace, connected with one 
in Lisbon. It is reported that the royal. family will travel through Europe this 
year, with the Infante Don Carlos; Dom Fernando and the Countess Edla 
being of the party. The ex-king of Portugal, His Royal Majesty Dom Fer- 
nando, who is known to Bostonians on account of his marriage with a lady of 
this city, has taken great interest in the Exhibition, and will send a collection 
of antique works of art from his own museum. The crown is hereditary in 
the female as well as the male line ; but if there is competition, the male has 
the preference. The general government consists of the legislative, the execu- 
tive, the judicial, and the "moderating" authority vested in the king; the 
House of Peers, or the " Camara dos Pares, 1 ' and the House of Commons, or 
the " Camara dos Deputados ; " and these when spoken of conjointly are called 
the " Cortes Geraes." The Peers, one hundred and fifty in number, are 
selected for life by the sovereign ; and the same authority appoints the presi- 
dent and vice-president of the upper branch. Since 1864, "'certain qualifica- 
tions " have been necessary for the appointment of peers by the crown. The 
members of the second chamber are elected by all persons possessing an 
annual income of ,£22. The deputies must have an annual income of ,£89, 
except members of the learned professions. There are 94 electoral districts, 
returning 149 deputies. The members are elected for four years ; the annual 
session lasts three months, and the deputies enjoy a remuneration of about \os. 
a day. The king has no veto on a law passed twice by the House. 

All laws relating to the army and general taxation must be first introduced 
in the chamber of deputies. The cabinet is divided into seven departments ; 
and the president has also a council of state, consisting of thirteen ordinary 
and three extraordinary members, nominated for life. The council, of state 
embraces the leading ministers of past or present cabinets, and in 1882 con- 
sisted of twelve members. The prevailing faith is Roman Catholic; but other 
views of religion are permitted, and the ancient religious establishments are in 
a state of great poverty, caused by the confiscation of their property in 1834. 
At that time the monasteries and nunneries had an annual income of nearly 
a million sterling. The national debt was much reduced by this means, but 
the priesthood has been left an income scarcely sufficient to keep them from 
want. There are 500 Protestants in Portugal, and they are of foreign birth. 
The minister of the interior is the head of a council of education, which man- 
ages the public schools of the country. By the Act of 1844, all children are 
compelled to attend public instruction; but the law is constantly evaded. Since 
the law was made, however, there has been slow but evident progress in the 
cause of education, and public interest has been excited, so that, in 1862, there 
was one scholar to every thirty-six inhabitants. There is one university, Coim- 
bra, founded in 1290. It has 5 faculties, 46 professors and lecturers, and from 
800 to 900 students. There are lyceums which give secondary instruction to 
3,000 scholars ; and in one of the ancient monasteries (the one at Belem) there 
is an asylum for orphans and abandoned children, containing 900 inmates. In 
1882-83 the government will expend on public education ,£193,033. The total 
annual revenue of Portugal amounts, this year, to ^6,589,779; and the total 
expenditure to ,£7,839,195, the public debt amounting to ,£2,908,738. 

The army is recruited partly by conscription, and partly by voluntary enlist- 
ment, and all young men of twenty-one years of age are obliged to serve. In 



FOREIGN EXHIBITION CATALOGUE. 425 

1882 there were 78,200 officers and men on a war footing. For one half of the 
drafted soldiers the time of service is eight years, three to be spent in the regu- 
lar army, and five in the reserve ; the remainder belong to the second reserve. 
But the revenue does net provide money enough to support such an army , 
and in 1882 the entire strength of the army was reported as 26,059, rank and 
file, mostly on foot; the cavalry numbering 3,241, and the artillery 2,709, officers 
and men. The number of troops in the colonies amount to 8,500 infantry and 
artillery, and a reserve of 9,500 men. The navy consists of 31 steamers and 16 
sailing-vessels, the steamers carrying 94 guns. The largest iron-clad is the 
corvette "Vasco de Gama," built at Blackwall, Eng., of 1,497 tons burthen, 
carrying two 18-ton guns, one 6^-ton, and two 40-pounder guns. The " Rainha 
de Portugal " and " Mindello," also built at Blackwall, carry eight guns, one a 
40-pound Armstrong cannon. The navy has 233 commissioned officers, and is 
manned by 3,034 sailors. The total exports in 1881 to the United Kingdom 
were valued at ,£3,357,012.

chain of high land, in the North Pacific Ocean, distant from San Francisco 2,100 
miles. They are of volcanic origin, having in the past ages been thrust boldly 
up, from the ocean bed, in succession, in a line from north-west to south- 
east. The volcanic energy ceased as it progressed southward, thus leaving a 
series of extinct crater-mountains along the chain from the northern island 
Kauai to the southern island Hawaii. Only in the southern point of this latter 
island, are the volcanic forces at present in an active and living state, being 
there confined within the vast bulk of Mauna Loa (the great mountain) which 
lifts its head 13,600 feet above the sea. Upon the summit and on the flanks 
of this mountain, displays of volcanic fires and of other volcanic phenomena 
are not infrequent : eruptions of lava at times light up its rugged sides, or the 
trembling of its crust tells of the pent-up giants restrained within. On its 
eastern flank, thirty miles from the coast, and 3,000 feet above the sea, is the 
famous crater of Kilauea, a place of easy access to the tourist, where a con- 
stant exhibition of boiling, incandescent lava and volcanic pyrotechnics, in the 
fiery lake of Halemaumau, awaits the admiration of the curious, or the examin- 
ation of the scientist. 

The islands are separated from each other by deep sea channels, varying 
in width from forty to ninety miles. Each has a central peak, or a series of 
them, whose sides, sloping more or less sharply down to the sea, form along 
the coasts the arable and pasture lands of the country. This coast-belt is 
broken into valleys and ridges, and tilted plains, by the deep and rambling 
seams which score the mountain-sides, thus giving the country great uneven- 
ness, and a precipitous contour, but adding greatly to its picturesqueness and

beauty. Upon the windward, which are the showery sides of the islands, this 
belt and far up the mountain is covered with grasses and forest, and the luxu- 
riant vegetation of the semi-tropics; while on the leeward or dry sides, as a rule, 
barrenness, naked rock, and sterile soil prevail. The dry water-courses, and 
the total absence of living streams, attest the insufficiency of the rain-fall, 
and render the region unresponsive to the cultivating hand of man. "But the 
physical aspects of the group and its scenery, even in the arid districts, are 
impressive and attractive. The bold and broken outline of the mountain-tops, 
their sides ploughed deep with glen-like valleys filled with trees and falling- 
waters, the flashing of the sea along and upon all the surf-beaten shores, the 
mantle of ever-living verdure, the cloud-capped summits, and over all the bright 
effulgence of the perpetual summer sun, constitute pictures which are ever 
delightful and pleasing. 

Honolulu, the capital of the kingdom, situated on the, island of Oahu, has 
a population of 15,000. Here is the residence of the King, his Majesty Kala- 
kaua, who ascended the throne in 1874, and of his Queen Kapiolani. Both of 
these royal personages have contributed articles for the Hawaiian exhibit. 
The Palace and other public buildings in Honolulu are fine and admirable 
structures ; while many elegant private residences, and commodious business 
places, adorn the town. 

The government is a limited monarchy. There is a written constitution 
with a legislative assembly, which meets biennially, the representatives to which 
are elected by the people. The King is advised by a council of four ministers, 
who are responsible to the assembly. The present head of the council, and 
premier, is his Excellency Walter M. Gibson. The judicial branch is repre- 
sented by the Supreme Court, over which presides Chief-Justice Francis A. 
Judd. The jurisprudence of the country, and the practice of the courts, are 
analogous to, and follow closely, that of the United States and England.

Honolulu is the chief seaport : whence the bulk of the exports is shipped, 
and where the imports are received and distributed. It is the centre of com- 
mercial activity. The internal commerce of the group employs ten steamers 
and forty-one sailing-vessels; its foreign is shown by arrivals in 1882 of 258 
vessels, tonnage, 172,619; and departures, 247 vessels, tonnage, 165,985. Under 
the Hawaiian flag, trading foreign, were forty-four arrivals and forty-one de- 
partures. Under the American flag were 179 arrivals and 175 departures. 
Honolulu is connected with San Francisco through the Pacific Mail S. S. Co. 
whose Australian line of steamers touch every month, and by the Oceanic 
S. S. Co., whose new and well-appointed steamers run bi-monthly. The pass- 
age is six days. 

The official reports for 1882 show the exports to be $8,229,016; imports, 
$4,974,510; revenue derived from customs, $505,390; total revenue of the gov- 
ernment, $1,200,000. The number of passengers arriving during the year, 
5,475; departures, 2,598; passengers in transitu, 4,932. 

The commerce of the group is in the progressive stage due mainly to the 
intimate commercial relations entered into with the United States in 1876. The 
consequences of this convention have been the almost entire absorption of the 
trade of the group by the citizens of the United States. Through the remis- 
sion of the Hawaiian duty on American goods, their consumption has risen 
during the past seven years from $724,267 to nearly $4,000,000 annually. The 
suggestive fact appears, that the present consumption of American produce 
and manufactures by the Hawaiian population has reached $45.44 per capita, 
a figure largely above that of any other country with which the United States 
have commercial dealings. 

The population of the group is of mixed nationalities, the natives, or abori- 
gines, still holding the preponderance numerically; with them also through the 
elective franchise, rests the deposit of political power. The foreign population 
is increasing, for the rewards held out to private enterprise and honest labor 
are just now attracting immigrants and capital. But the group is still sparsely 
populated. With their unoccupied lands, and great fertility, they are capable 
of sustaining a much more numerous people than they at present possess. 

The salubrity and evenness of the climate are remarkable. Subject to daily 
variations of temperature not exceeding 5 or io°, and annual extremes ranging 
according to season from 52 to 90 Fahrenheit, or an average of 72 ; with 
an atmosphere tempered by constant winds, which have traversed the cooling 
surface of the ocean for thousands of miles, in each or every direction, — the 
climate presents an uniformity and healthiness which may challenge the world 
elsewhere. 

The people are essentially agricultural and pastoral in their pursuits, hence 
their exports consist solely of the produce incident to their occupations. 1 The 
islanders have no manufactures. For what they wear, in large measure for 
what they eat, for what appliances or machinery they need to expedite their 
industries, or for what they need to contribute to comfort or luxury of living, 
they are dependent upon their near or more distant neighbors. Their exports 
consist principally of unrefined sugar, which in 1882 amounted to 114,177,938 
lbs. ; rice, 12,169,475 lbs. ; coffee, skins, hides, wool, and tropical fruits. Their 
imports consist of the usual list of things necessary to the daily wants of civil- 
ized life. Their progressive foreign trade is indicated by its rise in volume 
from $3,695,406 in 1875, t0 ^ ts present figure in 1882 of $13,273,526. 

The Hawaiian Commissioners having the exhibit in charge are Hon. Henry 
A. Peirce, Hon. J. Mott Smith, and Ed. M. Brewer, Esq. 

1 Of the total area of the group, about 396,800 acres are fit for pasture and cultivation of all kinds, 
and of this amount 100,000 acres will cover the lands available for cultivation of sugar-cane. This culti- 
vation is the leading farming; pursuit, somewhat over 40,000 acres being now devoted to it. The first sugar- 
plantation was started at Koloa-Kauai, by Boston men, with Boston capital, amid all sorts of discourage- 
ments and obstacles for want of implements and animals; about 1842, the first field was broken up with 
a plough drawn by men. Its earlier crops were of the crudest raw sugar. Koloa, which has ever since 
been under cultivation, is now a plantation, giving annual crops of 600 tons. The plantation has survived, 
while its pioneer owners sowed where others have reaped.

BRAZIL 




DOM PEDRO II., EMPEROR OF BRAZIL. 



The Empire of Brazil, embracing an area on the American continent second 
only in extent to that of the United States, comprises 3,275,326 English square 
miles, extending from north to south 2,600 miles, with a coast-line of nearly 
4,000 miles, and from east to west 2,770 miles, containing a population, in 1872, 
of 9,448,233. This census did not include the wandering tribes of aborigines, 
which are estimated at about 250,000 souls. Eight hundred square miles of 
territory are drained by the river Amazon and its tributaries. The three largest 
towns in the Empire are Rio de Janeiro the capital, Bahia, and Pernambuco; 
the first, with a population of 274,972; the second, of 129,109; and the third, 
of 1 16.671. Slavery legally exists in the country; but the number of slaves 
has diminished from 2,500.000 in 1850, to 750,000 in 1882, through a system of 
gradual emancipation, which received the imperial sanction in 1871. 

Dom Pedro II., Emperor of Brazil, son of Emperor Pedro I. and of Arch- 
duchess Leopoldina of Austria, whose portrait with that of the Empress The- 
resa is given with this article, was born Dec. 2, 1825, and succeeded to the

THERESA, EMPRESS OF BRAZIL. 



throne on the abdication of his father in 183 1 ; crowned, July, 1841. He is dis- 
tinguished for scientific attainments of a high order, and a discernment which 
enables him to perceive the elements of progress in reciprocal commercial 
relations bearing upon his favorite pursuits, as well as upon the development 
of the mineral wealth of his country; and his friendly feeling toward our own 
country has been shown in his treatment of citizens of the United States resi- 
dent in Rio de Janeiro, in whom he has taken an interest which has been in the 
highest degree appreciated. The Empress, to whom he was married in 1843, 
was born in 1822, the daughter of the late King Francis I. of the Two Sicilies, 
and has, by her charities, which are the outgrowth of a remarkably gentle and 
kindly dispc sition, won the hearts of her subjects and retained their sincerest 
respect. The daughter of the Emperor is the Princess Izabel, Crown Princess, 
born 1846; married in 1864, to Prince Louis of Orleans, Comte d'Eu, born 
in 1842, eldest son of the Due de Nemours of the "ex-royal house of Bour- 
bon-Orleans." The children of this marriage are Prince Pedro born in 
1S75, Prince Louis Philippe born in 1878, and Prince Antonio born in 1 881. 
The kingdom was established in 181 5 by a colony which had been formed in 
1807, by the royal family of Portugal, who fled to Brazil. In 1822, the Portu- 
guese Court having returned to Europe, Dom Pedro, eldest son of Joao VI., 
of Portugal, was chosen Perpetual Protector of Brazil, by a National Congress 
assembled at Rio de Janeiro. In October, of the same year, he was chosen 
Constitutional Emperor and Perpetual Protector, and in 1831 he abdicated the 
crown in favor of his only son, the present Emperor. The Empire is divided 
into 20 provinces and one neutral municipality; and the Government consists 
of a Senate of 58 members elected for life, and the Chamber of Deputies 
numbering 122 members elected for a term of four years. A senator must be 
forty years of age, a Brazilian by birth, and he is required to possess a clear 
annual income of 1,600 milreis, or ^160. They receive for the session a 
salary of 3,600 milreis, or ^360. The pay of the Deputies is 2,400 milreis, 
or ^240, besides travelling expenses. The session commences May 3, and

continues over four months. The executive power lies in the Sovereign, 
but is exercised through his ministers, who are selected by himself. The 
members of the cabinet are the Premier and Minister of Finance, and the 
Ministers of the Interior, of Justice, of Foreign Affairs, of Agricultural and 
Public Works, of War, and of the Navy. There is also a Council cf State, 
consisting of 12 ordinary and 12 extraordinary members selected by the Em- 
peror for life. Each province is governed by a president appointed by Gov- 
ernment, and a legislative assembly elected by the people for two years. The 
revenue of the Empire is derived from direct taxes, customs duties laid on ex- 
ports as well as imports, and extraordinary receipts by loans and the issue of 
paper money by the Government. The total internal and foreign debt of Bra- 
zil in 1882 was ^85,655,660; and in the budget estimates for 1882-83, the 
receipts are put clown at 128,960,700 milreis, or ^12,896,070, and the expendi- 
ture at 129,823,735 milreis. The Central Government supports two schools of 
medicine, two law schools, a military and a naval school, a school of mines, and 
a polytechnic school. In 1881, there were 5,785 schools for primary and second- 
ary education attended by 188,843 pupils, but compulsory education is not now 
existing throughout the Empire. The army numbers 13,500 in time of peace, 
and 32,000 on the war-footing, and according to official reports at the beginning 
of the present year there were actually under arms 11,333 men; 7,242 infantry, 
2,140 cavalry, and 1,951 artillery. The naval force consists of 402 officers 
and 3,180 men. The total number of steamers is 43, and the largest armor- 
clad ships are the Javary and the Solimoes. The naval arsenals are situated 
at Rio de Janeiro, Para, Pernambuco, Bahia, and Dadario de Motto Grosso. 
The commerce of Brazil is carried on principally with Great Britain and the 
United States ; and one of the objects of the Foreign Exhibition is the estab- 
lishment of a steamship-line direct from Boston to some port in Brazil, probably 
Rio de Janeiro. That city is celebrated for the beauty of its natural surround- 
ings, and its harbor is called the finest in the world. The bay is described as 
about 16 miles in length by 1 1 in width, and contracts to about one mile in width 
at the mouth, which, opening toward the south, affords ample prctection for 
shipping. Opposite Rio de Janeiro, across the bay, is the beautiful city of Nic- 
theroy, "the capital of the province. In 1882, the total length of the railways in 
the Empire was 2,517 English miles open for traffic, and 1,780 in process of 
construction ; the state owning six lines, and the larger portion of them having 
been built with the guaranty of the interest on the capital by the Govern- 
ment. The telegraph system is also under control of the Government. The 
soil of Brazil is especially productive of mineral wealth, its strata glistening for 
long distances with precious stones, and its depths " set solid " with mineral ore. 
The growth of its forests, polished to the highest finish, is used for decorating 
the costliest structures of the Old World and the New ; in beauty and variety 
excelling the production of all other countries. The most important agricul- 
tural product is coffee, which is raised in quantities sufficient to furnish more 
than half the coffee-consuming nations of the world. Other exports are cotton, 
rum, and cigars. The manufactures include cotton cloth made in factories 
established by Americans, silks, soap, chemicals, bronzes, and ribbons. There 
are also founderies for the manufacture of iron bridges, and some steamships 
have been built. 

In the exhibition of 1851, Brazil had 4 exhibiters ; at the French Exposition 
of 1855, there were 4 exhibiters; in London in 1862, it had no exhibiters; at 
Paris in 1867, it had the first official exhibit, at that time, sending in all 376 
exhibits, 98 of which were devoted to agricultural products ; at the Vienna 
exposition, Brazil had 268 exhibiters, and took 202 prizes.

DR. D. W. C. VAN TUYL, COMMISSIONER TO BRAZIL. 



Dr. D. W. C. Van Tuyl, Commissioner to Brazil, from the Foreign Exhibi- 
tion, is a well-known citizen of Rio de Janeiro. He has secured for himself in 
that city the respect and esteem of its inhabitants. As a patron of art, he is 
best known for his collection of statuary by Pettriel, the famous Italian sculp- 
tor, whose statue of Tecumseh, in Washington, is recognized as a work of art- 
Much credit is due to Mrs. Van Tuyl for her admirable" representations of the 
fruits of Brazil, in wax, which will be seen in the Brazilian exhibit. 



THE COMMISSIONER'S WORK IN BRAZIL. 



The work of the commissioner for Brazil, appointed by the Foreign Exhi- 
bition Association, was undertaken later than most of the commissions, and 
among a people not too familiar with Boston and the advantages of a closer 
intimacy with the section of the United States in which our city is situated. 
The result of the somewhat restricted labors of the Commissioner, Dr. D. W. C. 
Van Tuyl, has, however, shown a degree of earnestness ; and the gentlemen of 
high official position, who have lent their names to further the enterprise, have 
manifested an intelligent comprehension of the demands of the situation, far 
beyond what might have been expected in a country so remote, and with cus- 
toms differing so widely from our own. The attention of the United-States 
consul general at Rio de Janeiro, Gen. C. C. Andrews, having been called to the 
project, Dr. Van Tuyl was assured of his co-operation and earnest desire to 



FOREIGN EXHIBITION CATALOGUE. 437 

facilitate the enterprise. The secrelfery of the Brazilian Agricultural Society 
promised, in the earliest stage of proceedings, to arrange an exhibit of agricul- 
tural products ; and the Minister of Agriculture and Public Works was much 
pleased with the enterprise, and promised to use his best endeavors to facilitate 
it, especially by making it known in the different provinces throughout the em- 
pire. Articles in favor of the Exhibition have appeared from time to time in the 
Journal of Commerce, and other papers published in Rio de Janeiro and in 
various parts of the country. Accordingly, an interesting collection will be 
offered to inspection, which, while it does not pretend to be a representation 
of Brazilian arts and products, will constitute an exhibit of far more interest 
than any yet brought to the notice of the North-American public. There is a 
good prospect of the transfer of the Brazilian exhibit from Amsterdam at the 
close of that exposition. Among the objects most highly valued, which come 
direct from Brazil, are a full exhibit of sugar, coffee, and mate or Parana tea, 
and feather flowers from a famous establishment; also seven original paint- 
ings, some of them having hung in the palace of His Majesty Dom Pedro. 
The list of pictures includes El Roubo de Galatea (seven feet square), another 
of Brazilian fruits, St. Jerome, Venetian scene on the Grand Canal ; and one 
representing the famous sculptor Pettrich, author of The Dying Tecumseh, 
making the marble bust of the present emperor.

GUATEMALA. 



The republic of Guatemala, which, prior to 1839, formed part of the con- 
federation of Central America, has an estimated area of 41,830 English square 
miles, and is divided into twenty-two provinces. According to a census of 
1 88 1, it contained a population of 1,252,497. About two-thirds of this popula- 
tion are Indians, and the rest are of European descent. The capital is 
Santiago de Guatemala, containing a population of 55,728 inhabitants. The 
republic is governed by a constitution by which the legislative power is vested 
in a national assembly elected for six years. The executive power is vested 
in a president, who is elected by the people, the suffrage being universal. 
The government is administered by six departments, — of Foreign Affairs, of 
the Interior, of Public Works, of War, of Finance, and of Public Instruction. 
Gen. Rufino Barrios, President of Guatemala, was elected May, 1873. His, 
administration was prolonged from October, 1876, and he was re-elected in 
1880 for six years. The commercial intercourse of Guatemala with other 
countries consists in the exportation of indigo, cochineal, coffee, and other 
agricultural products, and the importation of textile fabrics. The estimated 
value of the total exports in 1881 was $4,084,348, and of the imports $3,991,- 
098. The trade is chiefly with Great Britain and the United States. Early 
in the summer, Mr. J. Abrahams of Fall River made application for space in 
the Foreign Exhibition in behalf of merchants and others from Guatemala, 
and acquainted President Barrios with the purposes of the association ; and 
in August, advices were received from the president that the transportation of 
exhibits would receive his attention. The catalogue of exhibits arrived Sept. 
6, from Antonio Batres, Minister Plenipotentiary of Guatemala, and Salvador 
at New York, sent to the Exhibition by the government of the republic of 
Guatemala ; and later on the announcement was received that Florentine 
Souza, Esq., now representing that government at the exhibition, had been 
appointed commissioner by the Guatemalan government. 



GEN. J. RUFINO BARRIOS. 

CONSTITUTIONAL PRESIDENT OF GUATEMALA. 

J. Rufino Barrios was born in the city of San Marcos, at the foot of the 
Andes, in 1835, son of Don Ignacio, who sent him to a private school in his 
childhood, and, later on, to the capital of the republic, that he might there 
perfect himself in mathematics. At the close of his studies, he embraced the 
career of a notary public, obtaining his diploma from the court of justice. In 
1869 he undertook the struggle for the upsetting of conservative rule; and, 
after a series of engagements, — in all of which he was the soul of the army,

infusing bravery into the hosts of Don Miguel Garcia Granados, — he made 
his victorious entry into Guatemala on June 30, 1871. The success of the 
battle-fields of San Lucas and Tierra Blanca has been attributed to his valor 
and fearlessness, leading a handful of brave men against an army of six thou- 
sand soldiers. He sustained Don Miguel Garcia Granados as provisional 
president for two years, being repeatedly obliged to pacify the population of the 
eastern portion of the republic, where the then quite powerful clerical party 
caused frequent insurrections against the new order of things to take place. 
He was elected president of the republic by an immense majority; and, during 
his administration, he was influential in making important changes in the laws. 
These are embraced in the new national codes of law that have superseded 
ancient Spanish legislation, — religious liberty sanctioning the exercise of all 
faiths and the free search for truth ; the liberation of capital from dead-hand 
holdings, thereby imparting life and movement to agriculture and industry; 
the laying of lines of telegraph, spreading a network of intercommunication 
over the length and breadth of the national territory ; popular instruction dis- 
seminated with a liberal hand to every inhabited portion of the republic; the 
redemption of the " censo," a sort of entail fastened on certain lands of great 
extent and arable importance, which was a permanent hinderance to agricultural 
expansion ; the re-organization of the army, and the introduction therein of a 
severe discipline, securing the preservation of peace ; the building of railroads, 
and the making of wagon-roads, both vigorously taken in hand and fostered by 
the administration ; the conclusion of a frontier-treaty with Mexico, which 
established a safeguard of tranquillity on its boundary, and dispelled a threaten- 
ing war-cloud which is continually hanging over the country, ever ready to 
burst ; the increase of the nation's income through the instrumentality of wise, 
economic legislation, and the formation of associations of great practical im- 
portance. Every branch of the public service receives his attention, and he 
communicates individually with the people, receiving their petitions personally. 
His popularity has gained for him the title, " Benemerito de la Patrie."

SAN SALVADOR 



The republic of San Salvador, comprising an estimated area of 7,225 
English square miles, with a population of 554,785, about 10,000 being of 
European descent, dissolved its connection with Honduras and Nicaragua in 
1853, and is governed by a constitution, the provisions of which are carried 
out by a Congress composed of a Senate and a House of Representatives, the 
former with 12 and the latter with 24 members. The head of the adminis- 
tration is a president, who is elected for four years ; and his advisers are a 
cabinet formed of the ministers of the interior, of war and finance, of foreign 
affairs, and of public instruction. Don Rafael Zaldivar y Lazo, president of 
San Salvador, was elected provisional president in 1876, successor of Don 
Andres Valle, president from Feb. 1 to April 25, 1876. The regular admin- 
istration of public affairs has been seriously interfered with in recent years 
by the substitution of " pronunciamentos " and military appointments for 
elections by the people. The native population are principally engaged in 
agricultural pursuits, and also to a certain extent in manufactures, and in the 
working of iron-mines. The staple products are indigo, coffee, sugar, and 
the balsam of Peru, which is cultivated in the region bordering on the Pacific 
coast, called Costa de Balsamo. The capital is Nueva San Salvador, built in 
the immediate neighborhood of the ancient site where the city was founded 
in 1528, by George Alvarado, and has been destroyed by successive earth- 
quakes and eruptions of the Tzalco volcano near by. The trade of San 
Salvador is mostly confined to the United States and Great Britain. Coffee 
and indigo are the principal exports ; but very little satisfactory information 
can be gained concerning the commercial intercourse of the republic with 
other nations, as it is massed with that of other states of Central America. 

Sr. Don Jacobo Baiz, consul-general of San Salvador at New York, has 
rendered the Foreign Exhibition great service as agent in New York for 
exhibits from San Salvador and Guatemala, and representative from San Sal- 
vador at the exhibition.

FROM THE BOSTON COMMERCIAL BULLETIN. 

CRANK LESLIE'S ILLUSTRATED NEWSPAPER, 
by the introduction of many notable features, both 
illustrative and literary, is attracting much favorable com 
ment. Attention is especially given in its columns to 
financial matters, and also to art and science, by able and 
competent writers. The publishers intend to give not only 
a handsome sheet, but one the contents of which will be 
of great value and interest to the reading public. 

FROM THE BOSTON GLOBE. 

PINCE Mrs. Frank Leslie assumed the sole manage- 
O ment, the brilliancy and success of the Leslie publica- 
tions have won for them even greater popularity than they 
previously had. Her editorial ability is granted by the 
press, and is shown in the variety and excellence of the 
matter promptly placed by her before the public. It is 
her policy to produce at the earliest possible moment, re- 
gardless of expense, whatever of interest takes place in 
any section of the country. She relies for assistance upon 
a corps of the best artists, who with pencil and pen are 
scattered here and there to illustrate the most interesting 
scenes. Each issue of "Frank Leslie's Illustrated News- 
paper " faithfully pictures the most important events, and a 
bound volume is an invaluable history of the year. 

" Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper" will, by 
arrangement with the management, give special 
attention to illustrations of exhibits In the Foreign 
Exposition.
